United States V. Dunn

Walter Dunn appeals his jury conviction of three counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341-1342. Six poultry buildings on Dunn's farm were destroyed by a fire which was intentionally ignited. The government's theory was that Dunn set the fire and committed the mail fraud offenses when he mailed insurance claims for the losses to three insurers.
