Trial of John Sappington Opened In Common Pleas Court
Judge Robert Tague presided as John Sappington waived jury trial to be tried by him in a case charging conspiracy to defraud Hocking Valley Community Hospital. Prosecution outlined a scheme involving Sterling and Libby Lewis to channel 35 percent lab billings to Lindsay Consulting, with about $34,000 paid in ten months and $3,500 to Sappington. Defense argued Sappington aided construction and staffing, while noting board approval and outside work tied to the Lewis lab venture. Witnesses included hospital trustees Velva Brashares and Stella Kallas and former lab head, with continued testimony on page 2.
