Michigan Perjury Laws

MCLA 750.422: Perjury in Court

Committing perjury while lawfully required to depose the truth in a court proceeding is a felony:

Capital Crime Trials: Punishable by Life Imprisonment or any term of years.
Other Cases: Punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

MCLA 750.423: General Definition

Any person required by law to take an oath who willfully swears falsely regarding any material matter is guilty of perjury, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Subornation & Inciting Perjury

Subornation (750.424): Procuring another to commit perjury carries the same 15-year penalty. Inciting (750.425): Attempting to procure perjury, even if none is committed, is a 5-year felony.

Defending Against "Material" Falsehoods

A successful perjury defense often hinges on whether the statement was "material" to the case and whether it was made "willfully." Mistakes, lapses in memory, or misunderstandings of a question do not constitute perjury. Our legal team meticulously analyzes transcripts and evidence to challenge the prosecution's claim of intentional deception.
