Last year Jimmy Biddle was convicted of the electoral crime of personation: voting as eight different people who had recently died in a local election. Now he is a witness for the prosecution in the trial of businessman and councillor Harry Webb. Webb is accused of paying £250 to Biddle to impersonate these dead voters with the aim of winning a victory over his business and political rival Laurence King. Webb denies the charge. He says Biddle is an unreliable witness who is lying. He paid Biddle the money for building a garden wall and suggests he is the victim of a conspiracy to frame him.
