Isn’t testimony that needs to be amended generally calley perjury?
Perjury is the INTENTIONAL use of false statements under oath. You get charged with perjury when you are caught lying. It is normal operating procedure to amend testimony and depositions as people recall information after the fact. There is a difference between lying and simply failing to recall something in the heat of the moment that you later correct as your memory comes back regarding something. It happens all the time. Not everybody has a photographic memory.
they get to say ‘oops’ before they are called on it, IMO
