Is there a jail time for committing perjury?
is when you lie under oath. Edit: It isn't asking for the definition of Perjury. He/She is asking if there is jail time for committing perjury. Yes there could be jail/prison time for perjury. You could receive one year, and a maximum length of sentencing at five to 10 years per charge. If the person has committed more than one act of perjury, as by making numerous false statements under oath, he or she could be charged with multiple offenses and that could increase total fines charged or jail time. Hope that helps... I guess it depends on how severe the lie is or who the prosecutor/judge is in the case... you could just receive a fine
