I think you may be confusing "having evidence" with the word "allegation." Whatever 'evidence' you think you may have, it will have to be investigated to determine if, in fact, an offense was committed. Neither the prosecutor NOR the judge are law enforcement officers and do not investigate allegations of wrongdoing. Your attorney would be far better off presenting the evidence of the officers alleged wrongdoing to his department superiors or to the State Attorney General's Office. Look at it this way - if it is eventually proven that the officer HAS committed perjury, and it was instrumental in your conviction, you will win a new trial.
