Legal Overview of Perjury Charges
Under Florida Statutes § 837.02, perjury occurs when someone knowingly makes a false statement under oath in an official proceeding. To convict, the prosecution must prove that the statement was both false and material to the outcome of the case. Even minor inaccuracies can be heavily scrutinized if they seem to influence the outcome of a case.
State prosecutors typically charge perjury as a third-degree felony, punished by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. However, if the false statement was part of capital felony proceedings, prosecutors can charge second-degree felony, punished by up to 15 years in prison. Working with an experienced Jacksonville perjury attorney is essential to preventing statements made in confusion or misunderstanding from being treated as crimes, because these cases often depend on interpretation and context.
