testify to this, that and the other, did you hear it?" It came up in a couple of days, but, as far as I know, I didn't sign an affidavit.
Mr. Griffin.
Did you testify at the trial?
Mr. Mcmillon.

Mr. Mcmillon.
How he entered the basement?
Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Mcmillon.
Okay. I believe you are going to be a little more briefed on it when you get the fourth report. It is covered.
Mr. Griffin.
All right.
Mr. Mcmillon.
There is four reports, he only has three, but anyway that is the statement that I made at this departmental investigation.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me hand you an exhibit marked 5015. That is something you prepared, diagram, Commerce, Main, Pearl, and Expressway. Would you sign that and date it? Let me hand you what has been marked as Exhibit 5020, which is a copy of a copy, which you provided us of your original hand-written statement of November 24 to Chief Curry. Would you look that over so you are certain that that is a true and accurate copy and then, if you feel it is true and accurate, would you sign it and date it? Would you prefer to do that out in the hall?
Mr. Mcmillon.
It won't be but just a minute here.
Mr. Griffin.
Okay.
Mr. Mcmillon.
Okay.
Mr. Griffin.
Listen, Tom. I appreciate your coming up here.
