Perjury Can Carry a Life Sentence!

What are the penalties for perjury in Georgia? A perjury is one of the most unique if not the most unique crimes in Georgia when it comes to the sentencing structure, that the weirdest sentences that come to mind for me are felony fleeing, and then perjury, I think is even more unique. Generally, perjury is a felony carries up to 10 years in prison and a $1,000 fine. However, that penalty can really change when we are dealing with a criminal case. So if someone is convicted of perjury, they can be in a criminal case. So meaning that they're being charged with perjury, that's obviously a crime. But if their perjured statement was in a criminal case, and that person was sentenced to prison, then their maximum sentence becomes whatever the person that was convicted in the in the trial where they gave perjured testimony, the max. So if the if they gave perjured testimony on an armed robbery case at a trial in the in the defendant in that case that they were a witness and got 20 years, that becomes the maximum. Additionally, the legislature has decided that if someone gives perjured testimony, in a case where someone receives the death penalty, then that person who gave perjured testimony shall be sentenced to life in prison. So very unique sentencing structure for people in Georgia convicted of perjury.
