Why is the judge guilty of perjury? Certainly her decisions have been questionable, and she will probably be criticised by the High Court, but perjury is specifically about lying under oath -- and she hasn't done that.
- jjgreen 6y ago"if the charge had been dismissed, then there was no proof the razor blade existed" is an out-and-out lie (as well as a ridiculous non-sequitur), there is proof in the documents she will not admit to the court. In the UK, judges are required take the Judicial oath: https://www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/the-judiciary-the-government-and-the-constitution/oaths/ https://www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/the-judiciary-t...
- matthewheath 6y agoYes, they are - but it's not perjury which relates specifically to witnesses and interpreters. It could well be misconduct in public office, or something though.
- vimax 6y agoClearly, she has not lied under oath. It is the prosecution that lied in misleading the witness on material facts, in which she is assisting. In these new times we might say she has conspired to commit perjury in High Court.
- matthewheath 6y agoProsecution can't commit perjury - only witnesses and interpreters can, given the statutory basis for perjury which is preferred to any common law perjury. She might've committed misconduct in public office.
