Insurance — homeowners policies — criminal acts exclusion — intentional acts exclusion

The Estate of Shawn Dobry, by its Special Administrator Christopher Dobry; Christopher Dobry; and Cynthia Stodghill (collectively, the Dobrys) appeal a grant of summary judgment in favor of Wilson Mutual Insurance Company. The circuit court determined a homeowner’s policy Wilson Mutual issued to Robert and Sande Walker did not provide coverage for the Dobrys’ claims against Robert and Sande; their sons, Jordan and Lucas Walker; and Robert’s mother, Henrietta Walker. We conclude the policy’s criminal acts exclusion bars coverage for the Dobrys’ claims. We therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
