Obviously perjury isn't as bad as murder, but this stuck out to me. When cops do perjury, they call it something else and the only real consequence is the prosecution needs to mention it if they use the cop's testimony. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giglio_v._United_States

Giglio v. United States

>Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the prosecution's failure to inform the jury that a witness had been promised not to be prosecuted in exchange for his testimony was a failure to fulfill the duty to present all material evidence to the jury, and constituted a violation of due process, requiring a new trial. This is the case even if the failure to disclose was a matter of negligence and not intent. The case extended the Court's holding in Brady v.
