The first, post pandemic jury trial in the state is scheduled to begin Monday in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport. It will be a test case – a brief, three- or four-day civil case with a minimum of participants, witnesses and only eight jurors. At issue: whether an insurer should be absolved of paying for fire damage because a homeowner lied about what, if any, rent her niece was paying for a third-floor apartment.
