Judge rules Zimmerman liens not covered by homeowner policy
Linn County Judge Harold Swailes found Allstate homeowner policy does not cover damages from Daniel Zimmerman's common law liens against seven former Cleveland Elementary School employees. The suit and counterclaims seek 700000 after Zimmerman's lien actions alleged to invade privacy and harm credibility. Trial delayed as Zimmerman and counsel seek continuance due to hospitalization and preparation limits. A separate federal case on fraudulent tax contributions and a competency hearing are ongoing.
