Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Lebanon County February 12, 2007, no. 2005-00443 (Erie Insurance Exchange v. Heisey)

CHARLES, J.,

On February 19, 2002, Janie S. Ream tragically lost her life when Warren Heisey shot her three times in the head. The echoes of these shots are still reverberating today, as Ream’s estate is seeking to collect money under Heisey’s homeowner’s insurance policy with Erie Insurance Exchange. Predictably, Erie argues that Heisey’s murder of Ream is not an event covered under its policy.
