Is there any case law where a witness has been found to have given the wrong testimony?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Negrete-Gonzales, 966 F.2d 1277 (9th Cir. 1992):
Id.; see also United States v. Esparsen, 930 F.2d 1461, 1469 (10th Cir.1991), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 112 S.Ct. 882, 116 L.Ed.2d 786 (1992). We found the error harmless, though, because the testimony was merely cumulative of that of several other witnesses. 711 F.2d at 892.
