Nothing But the Truth: What Happens When You Lie Under Oath
Most state laws have provisions that mirror federal law. The New York state penal code provides for various degrees of perjury crimes and criminal offenses for making apparently false statements. At the lower end, perjury in the third-degree is a class A misdemeanor offense. This crime involves making a false statement while giving testimony under oath or in a subscribed written instrument when under oath. The crime rises to a felony offense of perjury in the second degree when:
The statement is material;
Made in a subscribed written instrument; and
Made to mislead a public official in his official functions
The offense can become a felony charge of perjury in the first degree when the false statement is material and occurs during testimony.
