    Perjury is complicated to prove.

    The concern is making him into the martyr that he’s made himself into.

    His supporters will not be fed anything factual about the events.

      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.
