A Superior Court judge has ruled that a Fairfield lawyer, who fatally stabbed his disabled neighbor three years ago because he erroneously believed the man had molested his daughter, won't get help from his insurance company in the lawsuit filed against him by the victim's family.
In a 19-page decision, the judge stated that USAA Casualty Insurance Co. is not responsible for any civil verdict against Jonathon Edington because of his insurance policy's exclusion against intentional or criminal acts.
In August 2007, Edington pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, suspended after he serves 12 years, followed by five years probation, for fatally stabbing 59-year-old Barry James on August 28, 2006.
