The connection that I am saying that is not correct, is that perjury results in mistrial. I don’t disagree with the definition of perjury.
The car lot owner evidence you cite could be a Brady violation, wehre prosecution does not share evidence in its possession that favors the defendant. Maybe.
But as far as the LAW goes, whether or not Kyle has permisison, or was asked to be there, that angle isn;t relevant. It’s prosecution generated smoke and a good defense team would object to the evidence on that basis. It’s not relevant.
Lying about something that is not material to the case isn’t even perjury.
Note that I am not defending the prosecution or the conduct of this trial. Just saying that you make a leap when you assert “mistrial.”
Perjury has its quirks too. Counsel in a case are advocates, so they get to lie without risk of committing perjury. What they risk is losing the case, depending on the judge’s attitude and the outcome the judge wants to get in the case overall.
It’s the “you are close to the line and may have crossed it” the Judge said after the 5th Amendment argument. Now the drone footage they shared not being the same quality they had. Now the brothers on video with the “militia” group and Kyle. They had footage of it but still put both brothers on the stand to lie.
There seems to be a jovial “another day at the office” and “don’t sh-t where you eat” lack of strong advocacy from this defense team.
Aggravating to watch.
