Perjury? I don't think so (none / 0) (#12)
by Anonymous User on Tue Nov 25, 2003 at 11:18:13 AM PDT

From Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, 10th Edition: One entry found for perjury. Main Entry: per·ju·ry Pronunciation: 'p&r-j&-rE, 'p&rj-rE Function: noun Date: 14th century : the voluntary violation of an oath or vow either by swearing to what is untrue or by omission to do what has been promised under oath : false swearing If I'm not mistaken, nobody involved had sworn an oath. Perjury charges usually come from swearing to tell the truth in court, and then telling lies. How does this fit?
