Isn't perjury a Federal offense?
I assume he is an American citizen living in New Zealand. It that is correct, and IF the state should later charge him with perjury, which they could, I think...then, I can see New Zealand perhaps agreeing in a heartbeat to extradite him. From what I've seen in the past, perjury charges would not be brought until after the trail is done.
For example, I recall that after the Casey Anthony case was over and done, the state of Florida was discussing whether or not to charge Cindy Anthony (Casey's mom) with perjury. They must have decided not to pursue it, likely because it would be hard to prove. But McGee signed a sworn affidavit that was presented in court as evidence. Cindy Anthony never did that. She did get on the stand and claim SHE was the one who was searching the computer but said she was searching for something else. Therefore it could be a 'mistake'. There is no way it can be proven she was lying. Moms do things like that. Some would go to prison in the offspring's stead, if they could.
Mark however, made his brags on social media that he was going to testify and get her out of jail. Then, he signed a sworn statement with his lies on paper. But it has been proven he lied. i won't be surprised if down the road we read where he's going to stand charges for perjury. He got his 15 minutes of fame, but he may get more than he bargained for in the long run!
