Wendell Thomure and Dorothy Thomure v. Truck Insurance Exchange

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided January 8, 1986No. 85-1031PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Per curiam

Wendell and Dorothy Thomure appeal an adverse judgment entered on a jury verdict in their claim against Truck Insurance Exchange on their fire insurance policy. There was no question about the existence of insurance and the occurrence of the fire; the essential issues tried involved the claim of arson. The Thomures argue that there was insufficient evidence to support a jury-finding of arson and that defense counsel in closing argument made misstatements of the evidence that were sufficiently prejudicial to require a new trial. We affirm the judgment of the district court. 1
