Virginia jury acquits school spokesman of perjury in probe that was a focus of governor's campaign
A jury on Thursday acquitted the longtime spokesman for a northern Virginia school system of perjuring himself during a high-profile investigation of two school-based sexual assaults. The jury took only about two hours to deliberate before acquitting Loudoun County Public Schools Public Information Office Wayde Byard on the sole perjury count lodged against him by a special grand jury. The perjury case was the first prosecution to go to trial from the special grand jury's probe, commissioned by Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares at the request of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
