re: #168 Lord Baron Viscount Duke Earl Count Planckton

IANAL, but I’m not sure charges are “automatic”, so this still leaves discretion.

Sort of OT: if a witness testifies for someone and that someone is later sentenced anyway, should the witness be charged for false testimony, given that the court has already decided that it’s false?

Out system works on deterrence. If we don’t prosecute anyone who lies to the court then it becomes a problem. Especially when it has such a high profile.
