Timberman case heard as timelines shifted on evidence
Grills defense for Timberman and county prosecutor Webber argued before the supreme court that key testimony from Joseph Virant was involuntary and insufficient to sustain conviction. Virant testified he paid Timberman to halt lorain dry law prosecutions, but Grills noted his memory failed and the affidavit predated the events. Prosecutors said without the affidavit the state would still show grounds for conviction. Timberman, once director of public safety in 1920, faced conviction from a 1921 grand jury and was sentenced to the Ohio Penitentiary before bail and Supreme Court review.
