Summary of Judgment

A. Whether testimony of a witness in perjury constitutes a false statement contrary to memory should be determined by fully ascertaining the entire testimony in the examination procedure in question, not by seeking a simple Section of the testimony.

B. Even if the entire purport of testimony is consistent with objective facts and is not a statement contrary to memory, the perjury cannot be established if it is deemed that it is a statement due to the collapse or mistake of the purpose of examination.

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

Whether testimony of a witness in perjury constitutes a false statement contrary to memory is not a part of the simple composition of the witness's testimony, but a whole testimony during the relevant examination procedure should be judged by fully understanding it (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 88Do935, Dec. 6, 1988; 89Do1748, May 10, 1991; 93Do1044, Jun. 29, 1993; 93Do104, Jun. 29, 1993; 93Do104, Jun. 29, 1993; 81Do105, Sept. 14, 1982; 81Do207, Feb. 8, 1983).

The court below found the defendant not guilty on the ground that the overall purport of the defendant's testimony was due to the non-indicted 1's purchase of the forest of this case jointly with the non-indicted 1's living together, and that the non-indicted 2's her husband did not know the contents of the forest of this case since he did not participate in the specific course of the sale of the forest of this case and the creation of the purchase price, etc., which is consistent with objective facts. However, although it did not go against memory as to the minor portion, the non-indicted 1 is not guilty on the ground that the non-indicted 1's explanation is about a certain circumstance to emphasize that he is a co-owner of the forest of this case, or the purport of the examination was destroyed by a mistake or a mistake in the purport of the examination.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
