Description

Although it now covers more than court proceedings, the definition of perjury has not changed a great deal otherwise since the framing of the Constitution. Blackstone described it as äóìa crime committed when a lawful oath is administered, in some judicial proceeding, to a person who swears willfully, absolutely and falsely, in a matter material to the issue or point in question.äó Contents of this report: Introduction; Perjury in a Judicial Context (18 U.S.C. 1623); Perjury Generally (18 U.S.C. 1621); Subornation of Perjury (18 U.S.C. 1622); False Statements (18 U.S.C. 1001); Perjury as a Sentencing Factor (U.S.S.G. Œ_3C1.1); Selected Bibliography. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.
