I know this. The government lies through its teeth. Government has no accountability for its illegal acts including lying and perjury.
The average citizen, however, is subject to great and coercive penalties and punishment for lying/perjury.
Jury process and outcome regarding cases in which the totality of state power is on trial seem to fall into the outlier jury decisions. One might consider the long term personal consequences of jurors finding wrongdoing of the state. They have a history of getting even.
