Did the lawmaker knowingly lie to the grand jury?
The facts
Barry Moore, a Republican state representative from Enterprise, faced primary challenger Josh Pipkin in 2014. Pipkin recorded conversations in which the two discussed a local economic development project involving Enterprise Electronics and the community college, including Moore saying, 'if we get these jobs, you're going to get out.' Testifying before a special grand jury in Lee County, Moore said Pipkin was the only person who mentioned the project being in jeopardy. Prosecutors said another man had raised it with Moore first. Moore said his testimony was truthful.
