In what circumstances will a defendant be found guilty of perverting the course of justice for perjury?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rosenburg, 203 Misc. 22 (N.Y. Dist. Ct. 1952):
In Bea v. State (64 Miss. 278) defendant in one proceeding denied that he had sold liquor to several specific persons. In the prosecution for perjury each witness testified that a sale had been made to him. The court held (p. 283): "but the better opinion in such case is, that proof of one assignment is not corroborated by proof of another, even when all the perjuries assigned are committed at the same time and place."
