The Nebraska Supreme Court has determined that rape convictions that were wrongfully obtained by a county’s cold case investigation team triggered the insurer’s “personal injury” coverage notwithstanding a policy exclusion for professional services. The case is Gage Cty. v. Emplrs Mut. Cas. Co., 304 Neb. 926 (2020).
Helen Wilson was raped and murdered in Beatrice, Nebraska, on February 5, 1985. Months were spent investigating the heinous crime before the case became cold. In 1989, several members of the Gage County Sheriff’s office reopened the case.
