FARMERS AUTOMOBILE INS. ASS'N v. Medina

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided June 6, 1975No. 73-180Published

1DissentJustice Seidenfeld

In reversing the decision of the trial court, the majority directed its attention primarily to the question of whether the minor defendant intended or expected to burn the automobile when he ignited the discolored area under or behind the rear of the motor vehicle. It was concluded that the burning of the automobile was the intended result or, in the case of the specially concurring opinion, the expected result of an intentional act and that the finding of the trial judge was against the manifest weight of the evidence. It is from this holding that I must respectfully dissent.
