Patrolman maps drawn for own use in trial case
Patrolman Ross Megd said maps detailing the accident rotation were prepared for his own use and not as court evidence. He claimed the Fisher County attorney asked to permit use of the drawings, which defense attacked as unsigned work not by an experienced map maker. The patrolman emphasized he sketched the scene for personal use and noted several locations from Beaverdam and Concord Township.
