In a complaint filed September 24, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Scottsdale Insurance Company seeks a declaratory judgment against John E. Reid and Associates, Inc., Michael Masokas, Katelyn Newey (as Special Representative of the Estate of Arthur T. Newey, Deceased), and Jeanne Olson (as Trustee of the William Amor Revocable Living Trust). The insurer’s move comes as the consulting firm faces two lawsuits – one in federal court, one in state court – alleging that its employees coerced a false confession from William Amor in 1995, resulting in his conviction, incarceration in 1997, and his alleged premature death in 2023.
