	Perjury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing.
		Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful.
		Perjury is considered a very serious crime as it could be used to usurp the authority of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice.

	Section 28-915 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		(1) A person is guilty of perjury, a Class III felony, if in any official proceeding he or she makes a false statement under oath or equivalent affirmation, or swears or affirms the truth of a statement previously made, when the statement is material and he or she does not believe it to be true.
		Annotations: For an oath to be "required by law" as a foundation for the crime of perjury in violation of subsection (1) of this section, a specific statute must explicitly require that an oath be administered.
		In a prosecution for perjury, the falsity of the accused's sworn testimony cannot be established by the testimony of one witness alone, but may be established by testimony of one witness plus corroborative facts and circumstances sufficient to exclude all reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused.

		Perjury is a lie told under oath that is legally wrong.
		The perjury committed in the second example was an attempt to impede, frustrate, and obstruct the judicial system in determining how the man was injured or killed, when, and by whose hand, in order to escape personal responsibility under the law, either civil or criminal.

		But the highly partisan nature of the historic vote in the House, coupled with the fact that a Senate vote to convict the President requires a two-thirds majority as opposed to the simple majority needed to impeach in the House, appears to leave removal from office by that route unlikely.
		Republicans, on the other hand, contended that perjury by the President violates his official oath to faithfully execute the nation's laws, and could well lead to a general disrespect for the US legal system.
		On the first article, charging perjury in lying to a federal grand jury investigating the Lewinsky case, the vote was 228-206 against the President.

		Perjury statutes in many states make it a crime to knowingly lie after taking an oath to tell the truth, such as when testifying in court or communicating through certain legal documents.
		The falsehood must usually be material to the matter at issue, though perjury can also be committed by simply signing a document with the knowledge that it contains false assertions.
		For example, while completing a sworn affidavit during child support proceedings in family court, Dan purposefully understates his monthly income by $2000, signs the document, and files it with the judge's clerk.
