Ohio attorneys seek law license suspension for Timothy Grendell

• The May 2020 case, in which Grendell sent two teenage boys to jail for a weekend for refusing to see their estranged father, alarmed legal experts and garnered national headlines.

Catch up quick: In February and March, the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct held a series of hearings on Grendell's actions.

What they're saying: In a follow-up brief filed earlier this month, state attorneys called Grendell a "quintessential bully" who "abused his power and abandoned his role as a neutral advocate."

• "Our court has disciplined rogue judges in the past," the filing reads. "But this state has never seen a judge inflict pain and suffering on two innocent, young, and vulnerable children, while claiming to have acted in their best interests."

The other side: Attorneys for Grendell have asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the case, arguing that he has served his community with distinction as both a lawmaker and a judge.

What's next: The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct will make a recommendation to the Ohio Supreme Court, which will make a final decision.
