Indictment Argued in Larceny Case in Superior Court
A Pittsfield man, Clarence Pinsonneault, 43, faced an indictment for an alleged attempt to defraud an insurance company by filing false claims. His lawyer urged quashing the indictment as improper, while the judge deferred ruling. The case cites letters, writ and declaration in a civil suit and a statement to his insurer. Campoli, his attorney, claims actions are standard in civil cases. The prosecutor contends the four specifications were responsive and that more evidence supports the charges. Campoli denied any client involvement. Mrs. Segar of Bay State Road learned of a relative's death in Torrington, Conn.
