Is there any case law where a conviction of murder even at the cost of condoning perjury?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Commonwealth of the N. Mariana Islands v. US., 243 F.3d 1109 (9th Cir. 2001):
conviction of murder even at the cost of condoning perjury. This record emits clear overtones of the Machiavellian maxim: "the end justifies the means," an idea that is plainly incompatible with our constitutional concept of ordered liberty. See Rochin v. California. 342 U.S. 165, 169 (1952).
