Court overturns contempt conviction for newspaper reporter
West Virginia Supreme Court reversed Ralph Conley’s contempt finding in a case tied to a Paden City civil claim. Judge Lloyd Arnold had sentenced Conley to five days in jail and a $10 fine. Justice Calhoun said the summary proceeding lacked criminal basis and lacked proper authority. Browning partially dissented, urging dismissal of contempt. Conley had served one day before appeal bond.
