Edward Meerwald, the drunk driver who was sentenced to 14 years in prison in connection with the July 2004 accident that took the lives of James Dodson, 68, Neosho, and his eight-year-old granddaughter Jessica Mann of Joplin, will not attend the Oct. 4 pre-trial hearing in his attempt to have his conviction overturned.
McDonald County Circuit Court records indicate it is not considered necessary for Meerwald to be at the hearing since no evidence will be offered. He will be represented by Anne Wells, who was appointed to serve as his lawyer.
