Jury Rules Policy Beats Fraud Claim in Eldridge Case
A federal jury in Topeka awarded four daughters of Lorna Anderson Eldridge and the late Martin K. Anderson $270,000 from New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. after finding the policy was not procured by Lorna Eldridge’s fraud. The verdict, reached after about 1% hours of deliberation, leaves room for appeal by the insurer. The case centered on whether the policy taken out six months before Anderson's murder in 1983 was valid or obtained through deceit.
