An accusation could never be enough to disqualify anything. If the evidence that perjury has taken place is strong, the court will naturally weigh lower any statement from this witness, but you could not describe such statements as "invalid".

Can a person who commits perjury still give evidence?
Not in the same trial. Also - in any future legal proceeding where they may be called upon to give testimony - their past record of perjury CAN be introduced in an effort to impeach their testimony.
What is said when the witness puts their hand over the Bible?
This is an age old practice that is still in play today. What it means is that the witness is swearing on God's word, the Bible, that the testimony will be true. Even though religion has lost ground the past number of years, most people still believe in God. Also, the penalties of perjury can be severe.

How do you request a person as a witness?
First, you ask the person to be a witness and whether he/she will voluntarily appear as a witness. It is usually wise to follow this up with a subpoena just in case the person has other plans or a change of mind. Second, if the person refuses and you still want the person as a witness, you subpoena the person to appear at trial. Third, you hire the person, if the person is going to give expert opinion testimony.

Can a prosecutor or defense attorney use a witness if the witness has told more than one lie?
Whoever's side the witness is for can decide how to present the witness. It is not unheard of for prosecutor or defense attorneys to bring out the lie first, along with the reason(s) the person lied. However, the witness-confessional is usually extended only once; the person better fess up to everything right then. And even if the person puts everything out on the table, the judge or jury can still hold it against the person and choose not to believe the testimony, in part or in full.
Can an expert witness describe the effects of an injury in court to the left side of the body when in fact the injury is to the right side and still be considered an expert in the case?
It is 'the court' who decides who gets to be qualified as an "expert witness" - if the testimony was as badly mistaken as the questioner leads us to believe then the judge (or the jury) will take that discrepancy into account when they consider the verdict.

If someone is not Christian and they go to court saying you swear on the Bible can they lie?
If you mean, can they lie with impunity because they don't accept the Bible - as if their oath didn't count - the answer is no. Anyone can lie on the witness stand, of course, but it would still be perjury under any circumstances. An oath is an oath, whether the person swearing it believes the Bible is Scripture or not.
