Andrew McKim incident

On June 5, 2014, U.S. District Judge Gordon Jay Quist ruled against Miller for a hit from behind during an October 31, 2000, Swiss league game that ended Andrew McKim's career. After the collision, McKim was hospitalized for weeks with a concussion and a sprain of the cervical spine and never returned to the ice.^[2] Miller was charged and convicted of simple bodily harm, intentional bodily harm and gross negligence in Switzerland's Canton of Zürich in 2004. The insurance company asked the U.S. court to recognize a Swiss court's $1.1 million judgement against Miller, which increased to $1.6 million with interest and costs. Miller previously refused to pay the Swiss court's judgment, however Judge Gordon Quist said in its ruling that his court was adhering to the Uniform Foreign-Country Judgments Recognition Act, and ordered Miller to pay the $1.6 million judgement.^[3]
