You will be held in contemp immediately. Next, the prosecutor will bring charges as if you had commited another crime...it is a crime like any other. You will go to trial and if it is proved you will be sentenced and can go to jail...depending on what your state's laws are.

Answer 2

perjury is a crime..

PERJURY - When a person, having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the U.S. authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true

In english pretty much means its when you lie under oath.

In order for a person to be found guilty of perjury the government must prove: the person testified under oath before [e.g., the grand jury]; at least one particular statement was false; and the person knew at the time the testimony was false. The testimony of one witness is not enough to support a finding that the testimony was false. There must be additional evidence, either the testimony of another person or other evidence, which tends to support the testimony of falsity. The other evidence, standing alone, need not convince that the testimony was false, but all the evidence on the subject must do so.

Perjury is actually a felony. When comitted you can be incarcerated or, in plain terms..put into prison. This principle is strongly upheld if there is great evidence to support the purjury accusation.

Answer 3

Perjury is a felony in most jurisdictions. In Pennsylvania, it is a felony of the third degree. 18 C. P. S. section 4902, http://members.aol.com/StatutesP3/18PA4902.html

If the perjurer, when confronted with an inconsistent statement, retracts the alleged perjured statement, there is no offense.

The penalty for perjury is according to sentencing guidelines if there is a conviction for perjury, although the judge has a lot of discretion in imposing a sentence.

Perjury is what is known as a "crimen falsi", and one perjury will affect a person's credibility for the rest of his life. There is a quotation in Latin that states how the law looks at perjury and perjurors: "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus."
