Law Question About Discredit of a Persons Testimony?

Asked by trinity99 (1

I was wondering what action would have to be taken in a felony case when the arresting officer lied in his deposition. What would have to be done to discredit him and his testimony. There is documative evidence that he lied on more then one element of the case.

Would that not be a question for the defense attorney to answer?

There is no such thing as documative evidence. Mr.KnowItAll got it right. Mark Furman was the LAPD invesatigator who got caught in several lies including racist slander verbally abusing the defendant, to wit, OJ.

By the way, OJ won that case on a new twist in law :

“If the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit!”
