RICHMOND CITY OFFICIALS SUBPOENAED IN MY WAY TRADING FIRE CIVIL SUIT

(Richmond, IN)--Subpoenas have now been issued for city of Richmond officials in connection with the My Way Trading fire civil lawsuit.  Richmond Mayor Dave Snow and City Attorney Andrew Sickmann have been subpoenaed as third-party defendants.  Two Richmond residents are suing Cornerstone Trading Group and owner Seth Smith, but the city of Richmond now is a third-party defendant.  Cornerstone this week filed a 19-point motion to dismiss the case, claiming that the city is liable based on property ownership.  Since the fire broke out, the city has claimed that Smith is liable despite the ownership issue.
