Perjury and Prosecuting For
It
Here is a discussion thread on perjury. Start from the
bottom if you want to read it in order. Basically perjury is a joke in
Massachusetts (and likely many other states). I have heard from a high level
source inside the Worcester DA's office that "no woman will ever be prosecuted
for perjury". This is obviously a sexist and illegal statement (against 14th
amendment) for any district attorney to make. Figured it out yet? The judges, DA
and others are basically sexist pig that prosecute men and leave women alone
except in the most egregious circumstances.
In my case, I could prove, FROM THE RECORD, that my ex had lied UNDER OATH at
least 60 times.
One day, I went to the clerk's office to ask for a clerk-magistrate hearing to
consider the charge of perjury. They told me to go down the street to the DA's
office. That was in Woburn. The Woburn DA's office told me to go to the
Middlesex County DA's office. That office told me to go to the Commonwealth AG's
office in Boston. And that office in turn referred me -- where else -- back to
the Woburn Clerk's office! I spent an entire day going around in a circle for
nothing.
Well, not really for nothing. I did it in part knowing I was on a fool's errand,
but wanting to PROVE it.
A couple of years later, I tried again at the Clerk's office. And they tried to
push me onto the same circle, until I told them that I wasn't having anything of
it. So they actually sent out the notice for a perjury hearing. So I showed up
for the hearing -- AND I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT ARRESTED!
My ex took the summons seriously -- as well she should have since she knew how
many lies she'd told -- even though she was also naive for believing that the
Commonwealth takes perjury seriously. So she complained to a copp that I'd
violated my restraining order, and there was a warrant for my arrest. Naturally,
no cop ever actually went out of his way to enforce the warrant. Instead, she
waited until the hearing, then informed the cleerk that there was this warrant
for my arrest. They looked it up and agreed, and I was arreted on the spot.
In the meanwhile, I never got my hearing for perjury. But on the other hand,
this was the arrest that lead to my successful lawsuit, so this time at least I
got SOMETHING out of it.

Are you asking if the fox will guard the coop?
There are laws against perjury which are seldom enforced in even the most
blatant cases. I have tried to no avail to prosecute perjury laws in
probable cause hearings to get the DA to act.
It was a total waste of time. The OATH is a joke. Only the ignorant
believe it means something. The only punishment is you may lose some
credibility and the Judge will reflect that in his findings.

Hello,
if an attorney knowingly lies to the court in a pleading
(motion, etc) either on his own behalf or on behalf of his client, and
either in the same case or in a parallel case (as a way of showing the
attorney's lack of integrity and reliability of his assertions in the
instant case), are there statutory laws and/or case laws that require
the judge in the instant case to take action against that attorney?
I know that there is 18 USC (Misprision of Felony), but I am looking for
something stronger to require the judge to take action against the
attorney or evaluation of that attorney's assertions.
thanks.
