A lesbian
couple faked a hate crime that left their home a pile of charred rubble at
their Venore, Tenn., property in 2010, local reports said.
An insurance company caught on to the ruse months after the
blaze and accused Carol Ann and Laura Stutte of perpetuating a hoax and blaming
the fire on their neighbor, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
A federal jury ruled in favor of
the insurance company’s belief that the couple spray-painted an anti-gay slur
on their own garage to spin the fire as a hate crime based on their sexual
orientation.
