Yes, a witness can be convicted, if the offence of perjury is proved against him. Perjury is the offense of knowingly making untrue statements, by a witness, when he is testifying. The punishment may extend to fine or imprisonment or both, it depends on the law of the land. But generally, a witness is not tried for perjury, unless his statements are absolutely false and has a devastating effect on the case. It is also pertinent to mention that if the witness has submitted something, believing it to be true, but afterwards it is proved to be false, then no charge of perjury lies against the witness. Perjury lies attracted only when the witness has submitted some false statements deliberately and intentionally. it does not need an establishment of mens rea (mental intention) showing the inclination of the witness to either of the parties to the litigation.
