A federal magistrate judge has changed her mind and will permit Kevin Siehl of Johnstown to join Cambria County in a lawsuit against its insurance carriers, who are refusing to indemnify the county against Siehl’s claims he was falsely arrested and prosecuted for the 1991 murder of his wife.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan in late November nixed a request by Siehl’s Philadelphia attorney, Jonathan H. Feinberg, and Cambria County attorney, Michael J. Parrish Jr., to file a joint lawsuit against three insurance companies who have refused to provide attorney fees and financial coverage of any award Siehl may obtain against the county.
