Dismayed, Hodges took his kissing case to Florida's Third District Court of Appeal on the ground that Mary had willingly kissed back with a "reckless disregard for her safety" that made her guilty of contributory negligence and him immune to paying damages.

In this case, though, he charged the magazine with "reckless disregard for the plaintiff's rights" and "fictionalization for the purpose of profit." Time Inc. Lawyer Harold Medina Jr. pointed out the many similarities between the Hill incident and the Hilliard play, and argued: "This is a nondefamatory article. We said the family were heroes."
