Printer, Insurer Tangle in Court Over Fire

The civil trial, taking place in this small South Carolina town perhaps best known as the home of baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson, has taken place this week with both sides accusing the other of impropriety. According to the Greenville News, the four owners of Genesis Press—Chris Petrone, Michael Kudeviz, Larry Kudeviz and Bruce Kudeviz—have sued Hartford Casualty Insurance for not paying claims on a reported $12 million in losses following a March 2008 fire that destroyed several presses. Hartford has launched a countersuit for $2 million, claiming fraud due to arson.
