We find this evidence sufficient to justify the submission of a punitive damages instruction to the jury. We are not prepared to characterize the defendants' conduct in this case as egregious per se. However, a reasonable jury could find the defendants acted with malice or reckless indifference that their actions might violate a federal statute of which they were aware. See Kolstad, 119 S. Ct. at 2124-25; Tyus v. Urban Search Management, 102 F.3d 256, 266 (7th Cir. 1996) (finding that evidence of defendant's knowledge of Fair Housing Act and intentional disregard of the Act raised jury question on punitive damages issue). We therefore remand this case to the district court for a trial on the punitive damages issue. B. Evidentiary Exclusions
