During the Wolf depositions, Darnay had Judge Carnes available by phone should there be any need for a ruling by her during those depos.
BlueCrab said:No ruling was necessary. Chief Beckner chose not to violate Colorado law.
Besides, lying under oath occurs in almost every deposition taken, but seldom is anyone charged with perjury. Even Bill Clinton lied under oath, but nothing happened. With the adversarial system in the U.S. there's two sides to every story, so in court one of the two parties is usually lying, but rarely are they charged with perjury.

nellicat said:Actually, he DID choose to violate Colorado law: lying under oath is against the law. There was absolutely NOTHING preventing him from answering, truthfully, that he could not answer the question. The followup question "Why not?" could likewise have been answered truthfully: "Because to do so would violate Colorado law." If necessary, he could have CITED the juvenile protection law.
By saying "I can't answer because it is against the law to name a juvenile as a suspect" he would have complied with this law. He would not have perjured himself, and he would not have named a juvenile as a suspect.
The fact that folks could have then INFERRED that a certain juvenile was a suspect would not be the fault of the chief.
Patsy is from the old school that says even BAD publicity is better then NO publicity. I'm sure she's upset that she doesn't get to see herself on the cover of the tabloids anymore when she goes through the grocery checkout.Toltec said:Seems like lil ole Patsy does not want to leave the limelight. It was probably she who talked John into running.
