Appellants’ count for conversion and for punitive damages was removed from the case on motion for directed verdict, and upon the submission to the jury, a verdict for $600 was returned. The judgment entry recites that the judgment was entered for twice the amount of the security deposit pursuant to § 535.300 RSMo 1986 (effective September 18, 1983). Appellants here contend that the trial court erred in sustaining the motion for directed verdict on the conversion claim and for punitive damages, and they asked for a new trial on those issues.
