Perjury decision upheld
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court, on a 6-3 vote, Mon
day ruled police of ficers who lie
on the witness stand may not be
sued for damages under federal
civil rights law by people con
victed on the basis of the per-
jury.
Voting on many issues, the
justices, upholding a lower court
in an Indiana case, said a con
victed state defendant may not
use a Reconstruction-era law to
sue police officers for money
damages for alleged perjury at
the defendant’s trial.
Writing f6r the majority, Jus
tice John Paul Stevens conceded
that a police officer on the wit
ness stand, performs the same
functions as any other witness.
But, he said, “subjecting gov
ernment officials, such as police
officers, to damages liability
under the civil rights law for
their testimony might under
mine not only their contribution
to the judicial process but also
the effectiveness of their other
public duties.”
W’hile Stevens said, “Some de
fendants might indeed be un
justly convicted on the basis of
knowingly false testimony by
police officers,” he concluded
that danger is outweighed by the
broader public interest of a
flood of lawsuits by disgruntled
criminals.
Justices Thurgood Marshall,
William Brennan and Harry
Blackmun dissented.
In other actions, the justices:
