February 2011 - perjury charges dismissed:

Merritt ruled that because neither Trehy nor defense attorneys specifically asked Angelo if he took all of the photos on one day, the perjury charge was invalid.
During the trial, Trehy and Brown asked Angelo when he took the photos. Angelo said they were shot about two days after the boy ran off.
Trehy argued Tuesday that because authorities could prove the photos were in fact taken over a span of weeks rather than in one day, Angelo had perjured himself...
Citing historical cases that dealt with similar issues, Merritt sided with Brown and said the questions asked of Angelo about the photos during trial needed to be more precise for him to have committed perjury.
