Inquiry:
Pwede po bang kasuhan at kung sakali ano po pwedeng ikaso sa tao na nagsinungaling sa korte bilang witness?
Kasagutan:
Maari siyang makasuhan ng Perjury.
Under Article 183 of the Revised Penal Code it provides that alse testimony in other cases and perjury in solemn affirmation. — The penalty of arresto mayor in its maximum period to prision correccional in its minimum period shall be imposed upon any person, who knowingly makes untruthful statements and not being included in the provisions of the next preceding articles, shall testify under oath, or make an affidavit, upon any material matter before a competent person authorized to administer an oath in cases in which the law so requires.
Any person who, in case of a solemn affirmation made in lieu of an oath, shall commit any of the falsehoods mentioned in this and the three preceding articles of this section, shall suffer the respective penalties provided therein.
Ang perjury ay ang pagsisinungaling sa loob ng korte kahit na ikaw ay nangakong hindi ka magsisinungaling sa pamamagitan ng oath na kanyang ginawa. Ito ay upang maprotektahan ang hukuman sa anumang dungis na maaring maidulot ng isang kaso o witness na walang dahilan at para maprotektahan ang integridad ng ating justice system.
