Okay, I can't stand it any longer! I asked a lawyer acquaintance who works for a major law firm whether he knew of any case where a federal prosecutor got into the business of examining a civil trial for perjury. His reply was that he never came across such a case.

Some time ago a legal commentator on TV made much the same observation. He also pointed out that perjury was common in civil cases. His point was that one side or the other always commits perjury.

Finally, a lawyer pointed out that perjury involves lying about a material issue. Since the issue in Jones was sexual harassment, how is consensual sex material?
