http://www.wvgazette.com/section/News/2005042018Former House of Delegates Education Committee Chairman Jerry Mezzatesta has been indicted on a charge that he lied in an affidavit he gave to the state Ethics Commission amid an investigation.
A special grand jury in Hampshire County indicted Mezzatesta on a misdemeanor false swearing charge. The indictment alleges that Mezzatesta “knowingly and intentionally” lied under oath when he told the ethics agency he never solicited grants for Hampshire County schools, where he works as a board office administrator.
“With all the fervor surrounding this, we took it to a grand jury so the citizens of Hampshire County could decide Mr. Mezzatesta’s fate,” said Sgt. S.D. Reckart with the West Virginia State Police in Romney.
