    Perjury is complicated to prove.

    That’s depressing, but thanks for pointing it out. When the presiding judge states that your sworn testimony is untrue, I would have thought that was enough.

      In this case, it wasn’t his testimony but his defense as to why he didn’t violate his gag order for a second time. I’m not strictly sure if you can perjure yourself in your defense for such a situation, but either way it was the judge just not buying his excuse.
