You, of course mean allegations of perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, subornation of perjury. Someone as knowledgeable and humane as yourself would never condemn a man to guilt before he had a fair hearing.

Well, no. I don't agree with you.

First, you have a handful of names for the same basic act - trying to cover up a sexual relationship. Every other divorce case could result in the exact same criminal prosecutions if this were to be allowed. In fact, if it is allowed, most likely the divorce process is going to take a nasty turn from here.

Second, I believe that the Supreme court may eventually throw these out if it gets to that, because there are rules against prosecuting people for things that nobody else is ever prosecuted for - namely perjury in a dismissed civil case deposition, even if he didn't word his answers carefully enough for the law, and he probably did.

Third, those are accusations at this point. You are not in authority, fortunately, so they are not crimes yet. They become crimes upon conviction, until then they are suspicions, they may be facts or acts, but they are not crimes.

Not that I would suspect a guy with a name from a comic book of understanding or caring about any of the fine points of due process. :-) Zoltan! Buck Rogers friend? I vaguely recall him from somewhere. Refresh my memory on that, eh Zoltan.

Way above your pay grades, guys. You all better get back to the football game and those beers.

Ciao,
