- freddie_mercury 7y agoLying is not illegal. Lying under oath is illegal. In Germany, judges rarely require witness to swear under oath. There also aren't juries in Germany. There also isn't cross-examination in Germany. The English way of law isn't the only way.
- skrause 7y agoIn Germany only witnesses are required to tell the truth (even without oath), but not the ones accused of a crime.
