Comment on If someone pleads not guilty in court and is then found guilty of the crime anyway, does perjury get added to the list of crimes as well?

Simple answer is no. You have a constitutional right to say not guilty because it’s innocent until proven guilty.

Remember this only applies in court. On the streets, it’s guilty until shot.
