I think something has to happen to him. No matter how he tries to spin it, he
failed to answer the question put to him under oath (at least, every time I've
been a jury candidate the judge has reminded us we're answering questions under
oath) with a true and complete answer. As you said, the system depends on people
being truthful. I don't see how the system can work if you can get away with
lying without any sort of penalty. Either the penalty for lying has to be
enforced and be harsh enough to make it clear people can't afford it, or the
system has to start assuming people will lie when it serves their purposes and
take steps to spot those lies. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Can't one be charged with attaint, or doesn't that apply here? Not that I
really expect charges, but I have to wonder. After all, he caused them to waste
a LOT of money on a goofed up trial. One might think he'd be on the hook for
something here.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
