It does not make sense to argue over what definition is “correct.”
I certainly hope that’s not what it looked like I was doing.
I do want to be sure you are aware
Oh, I am. I was just curious about Jack’s specific definition.
As a matter of curiosity: pursuant to your particular definition of lying as you were using it above, would you call making a true statement with the intent that it deceive and the knowledge that it is likely to do so “a lie” or “not a lie”?
In point of fact, I would call that a “deception”, not a “lie”. So, [a statement made with intent to deceive] = a “deception”, and [a statement of something that is known to be false] = a “lie”. So the two qualities are independent of each other. (Incidentally, [a statement of something that is false, but thought to be correct] would be a “mistake”.)
I wonder whether the legal system considers “making a true statement with the intent to deceive” perjury?

It looked like what was generally happening—I’m not interested in meting out blame for it.

Good.

Alright, interesting. FWIW, I can go either way on that one.

To some extent, wouldn’t this amount to most defenses when the accused is guilty? This seems like a bad idea, unfortunately.

You lost me. (Pleading “Not Guilty” when you are guilty isn’t perjury because it’s not under oath, but I don’t see what that has to do with “making a true statement with the intent to deceive”.)
Also, you only need the > at the beginning of each paragraph.
Generally, statements made in the defense would be made with the intent that people draw the conclusion that the defendant is, in fact, not guilty. A guilty defendant could then not legally testify at all.

The third element of a perjury offense is proof of specific intent, that is, that the defendant made the false statement with knowledge of its falsity, rather than as a result of confusion, mistake or faulty memory.
Though I suppose this wouldn’t protect someone from prosecution for sarcasm.

Gracias.
Well, there’s a reason people plead the Fifth.
Y de nada.
Googles …

You wanted the previous page. Yes, for perjury, the statement must actually be false.
Oh, you’re totally right. I misread the parent.
No worries.
For what it’s worth, I’m not actually sure what I was going for there.
Edit: Yeah, that was probably it.
I assumed “curiosity”
