The State already knew what was in the account. If they already knew what was in it, then how could they have been deceived by her "Currently, I don't know" answer???

If she had given them a dollar amount that was inaccurate, even a few dollars off, they could have and would have charged her with perjury for that. No matter what answer she gave, the perjury charge was coming. It was their intent --

Again, I don’t think they can get a perjury conviction, but that’s not the problem the Zimmermans have brought upon themselves. They clearly intended to try to hide from the court the amount of money they had available to them, and they clearly carried out every step of that plan, up to and including her answers in court, even if they were not perjurious. That’s why it affect George, too - not because of specific answers he gave in court, but because he was part of the plan to try to hide the information from the court.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. That is what these young people faced and are still facing.
