In People v. Ribowski, (77 NY2d 284) defendant, an attorney, was indicted for two counts of perjury in the first degree relating to his testimony before the Grievance Committee at two separate proceedings. Although each perjury count of the indictment was silent as to the specific testimony alleged to be false, the bill of particulars for each count contained three specifications allegedly false testimony. The actual specifications in the bill of particulars had been read to the grand jury by the prosecutor in legal instructions to the grand jury at the time the grand jury voted upon the perjury counts. Ultimately, these same specific statements were submitted to the trial jury in the form of a special verdict. Thus, the particular specifications submitted to the trial jury could be traced in an unbroken chain from their point of origin in the District Attorney's specific legal Instructions to the grand jury at the time the grand jury voted the indictment, to the bill of particulars to the special verdict.
