Robinson on Arson Charge Relates to Insurance Fraud
A jury was seated to try Fred S. Robinson on arson charges in Janesville. The state alleges he murdered property to collect $1,000 in insurance from Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance, by directing his wife to commit the act and threatening to leave her and the children. Evidence includes statements about paying mortgage with insurance, wind direction at the fire, and removal of goods while his wife allegedly acted. The trial follows testimony from the first witness, Little Walsy Walker, who described conversations and threats corroborating prosecutors' claims.
