The first trial resulting from a special grand jury investigation in Lee County is set to begin.
Republican Rep. Barry Moore of Enterprise goes on trial Monday in Opelika on charges of perjury and making false statements to law enforcement. Prosecutors have accused Moore of lying to the grand jury during its investigation of possible government corruption.
Defense attorney Bill Baxley describes the evidence as the weakest he's seen.
Attorneys expect to conclude the trial within one week.
House Speaker Mike Hubbard has also been indicted by the grand jury, but no trial date has been set for the Republican lawmaker.
