If Ive had my criminal record expunged and I am later placed under oath and asked about the expunged matter, am I committing perjury if I deny that it ever happened?
A. You would be committing perjury (or false swearing) ONLY if you are asked in the context of one of the exceptions to the expungement statute. For example, if you deny it in the context of a sworn application for employment in law enforcement, you would be committing an offense. In all contexts other than the exceptions to the expungement statute, you can deny that the matter ever happened. You can deny it under oath. You would not be committing perjury or false swearing.
