A Kalamazoo man who police say was part of a family scheme to burn down a mobile home, then collect the insurance money, is set to testify against his parents at trial, according to a report by the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.
Christopher Smith, 38, has agreed to testify against Gordon and Nancy Smith at arson trials scheduled this month. The agreement is part of a deal Smith made with prosecutors when he pleaded guilty last week to a reduced charge, arson of insured property. If convicted, he could receive up to ten years in prison when sentenced March 20 in Ottawa County Circuit Court.
