Is there any case law that perjurious testimony during a criminal trial violated double jeopardy?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Little v. Franklin, 94 F.3d 652 (9th Cir. 1996):
Finally, Little argues that his subsequent prosecution for perjury during the first trial violated double jeopardy. His double jeopardy claim is precluded by United States v. Williams, 341 U.S. 58 (1951) (holding that perjurious testimony during a criminal trial constituted a separate offense from the original crime for purposes of double jeopardy).
Affirmed.
