Tampa Perjury

Florida Perjury Law

Perjury is a criminal act that occurs when a person lies or makes statements that are not truthful while under oath.  For example, if a person is asked to testify in a criminal proceeding, and he/she is under oath but does not tell the truth, he/she can be charged with perjury if it is discovered that he/she lied.  By committing perjury, people partake in the miscarriage of criminal justice and corrupt the legal process.    

Perjury is a very serious criminal offense, even though most people who lie under oath do not consider it to be very serious.  When people commit perjury, they disrupt the legitimate discovery of truth.  For this reason, people who are charged with perjury are likely to face a variety of severe legal ramifications if they are convicted.  Some of these legal consequences may include having to spend time in jail, probation, or paying fines to the court.
