It is important that we impose severe sanctions for perjury and misrepresentations to the Courts by it’s officers. This should regularly include severe fines, disbarment and imprisonment. Without severe sanctions for this outrageous conduct by prosecutors, police officers and attorney’s we may as well seek justice in the third world countries legal systems that we denegrate.

Some years ago I had a Miami attorney blatantly answer sworn interrogatories directed to him falsy regarding dates he was in contact with his client after being compelled by the court to answer. At a further hearing the court demanded he produce his billing records for in-camera review and it was determined he flat out lied. The judge handed over the information to me, redacted as to priviledged content, in open court. No personal penalty imposed on the partner or his associate, fees and costs of hearing denied. Only penalty on our client for legal fees to get what he was entitled to. Happens every day. Priceless!
