155 Vt. 587, 587 A.2d 933 (1990), in which the defendant was prosecuted for perjury for lying at an inquest to cover up her submission of false pay vouchers for days in which she did not work as an assistant judge. The court admitted evidence that the defendant did not work on days for which she claimed pay, but altered court records to make it appear she was present. We affirmed on the basis that fear of disclosure of the misconduct in submission of the vouchers was the motive for the perjurious testimony. Id. at 604, 587 A.2d at 943-44.
