United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Decided October 14, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kenneth R. Taylor (argued and briefed), Asst. U.S. Attorney, Lexington, KY, for Appellee.

John K. West (argued and briefed), R. Burl McCoy (briefed), McCoy, Baker & West, Lexington, KY, for Appellant.

OPINION

ROSEN, District Judge.

This appeal calls upon us to clarify the law of this Circuit as to whether a person may be found guilty of perjury where he gives sworn testimony which, from the context of the questioning and circumstances surrounding the investigation, can reasonably be inferred to be knowingly untruthful and intentionally misleading, even though the specific question to which the response is given may itself be imprecise.
