In March, the county ethics comm ission ordered him to drop the project and barred him from serving as a consultant on a movie about the sniper case, saying a county employee may not profit on the side from his official duties. The commission also said the book could undermine the pros­ ecution in the sniper case by cater­ ing to “the public’s thirst for all o f those ‘inside’ details.” The defen­ dants’ attorneys also object to the book, saying it could taint pos- siblejurors. Moose appealed in state court and also filed a federal lawsuit c laiming his free speech rights were being violated.
