Ostreng v. Lowrey
Wisconsin Supreme Court
1Opinion of the CourtHeffernan, J.
The trial judge in ruling on motions after verdict stated:
“. . . the Court is of the opinion that the verdict is not defective, and that there is credible evidence in the record to sustain all the answers in the verdict.”
