RISKY TESTIMONY: Boggs talks to grand jury

Ex-county commissioner could face felony perjury charge

In an unusual and risky move, former Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs testified Tuesday before a Clark County grand jury that is considering indicting her.

As soon as today, the grand jury could indict the 43-year-old Republican on two felony counts each of perjury and filing of false documents.

Boggs was behind the closed doors of the grand jury hearing room for nearly two hours Tuesday afternoon before leaving the Regional Justice Center with her lawyer, Bill Terry, and a small entourage of friends. Neither Boggs nor her lawyer was willing to comment.

Boggs' decision to testify at her grand jury hearing was a "rare" and "bold" move, said one longtime courthouse observer, Charles Kelly, a defense attorney and former federal prosecutor.

"The Fifth Amendment is so strongly rooted in our system that people tend to rely upon that," Kelly said. "For somebody to feel they're going to testify before the grand jury, they must have a very profound sense of their innocence."


Looks like her "bold move" has backfired. Boggs has now been indicted:
