| | Perjury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Perjury is considered a very serious crime as it could be used to usurp the authority of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice. | | | Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful. | | | Perjury is lying or making verifiably false statements under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. |

| | Subornation of perjury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Subornation of perjury is a legal term describing the act of an attorney who presents testimony (or an affidavit) the attorney knows is materially false to a judge or jury as if it were factual. | | | Subornation of perjury is not a civil wrong, but can lead to criminal charges. | | | For example, if the attorney does not refer to the false testimony in argument, the perjury may have occurred but the attorney has not suborned it. |

| | While the subornation of perjury is defined as grounds for disbarment, and for barring a person from holding a state office in the state constitution, it is not in and of itself a crime at present. | | | An information for perjury under this section which charges that it was committed in the "district court of San Miguel county, Colorado", charged with sufficient certainty before what court the alleged false oath was taken; it is not necessary to state the name of the clerk of the court by whom the oath was administered. | | | In a prosecution for perjury the question of the materiality of the testimony alleged to be false is one of law for the court and not the jury. |

| | Perjury, or lying by a witness under oath, is a felony punishable with incaracertion in prison. | | | The cases support petitioner's position that the perjury statute is not to be loosely construed, nor the statute invoked simply because a wily witness succeeds in derailing the questioner - so long as the witness speaks the literal truth. | | | But, one of the hallmarks of perjury law has always been that if a witness tells the truth, there is no crime of perjury committed. |

| | Secondly, there is perjury when justice is lacking, for in whatever way a man swears to that which is unlawful, for this very reason he is guilty of falsehood, since he is under an obligation to do the contrary. | | | Since therefore perjury is incurred through lack of truth, it is incurred likewise through lack of judgment, as when one swears indiscreetly, and through lack of justice, as when one swears to something unjust. | | | It would seem that it is not necessary for perjury that the statement confirmed on oath be false. |
