If it was found out six weeks after a trial that the Expert
Witness gave false and misleading testimony, can a Judge
overturn the verdict based on perjury? The jury was
deadlocked for 2 days. The judge made a suggestion for
them to reread the Expert Witness's testimony to see if it
helps them. They came back with a verdict and confirmed it
helped. Six weeks later it has come to light that the
Expert Witness misrepresented himself and gave false
testimony. If this information is sent to the judge, can
he overturn a verdict based on perjur?
