Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Lots of questions

If a witness makes a very damning statement or accusation on a police report that you can prove is absolutly false, you can prove they knew it was false does the Prosicuting attorney have to do something about it?

If you can show that every statement that the witness has made is partial truth or they have intentionally changed the facts and/or only given enough information to make it damaging, is that perjury?

Can this person be sued in a Civil action?

If this person also has been downloading personal e mail and work e mail of the charged person without there permission trying to find incriminatin evidence, can that person be charged for invasion of privacy? Or computer Tresspass since they are accessing a database and account belonging to that person?

If the person found out they were caught and deleted the hard drive to cover up what they were doing, knowing they were going to be reported, is that evidence tampering?

If the witness has called people and gotten angery at the person because they will not say what they want them to say is that witness tampering?

If the witness calls a witness for the defense and is telling them a rendition of a story that the Prosicution witness did not wintess, but tries to convince them something else happend. Is that witness tampering?

1) Issues may be within the prosecutor's discretion. Unfortunately they don't usually pursue such perjury often as they should, IMHO. They may.

2) You can sue in a civil action but be prepared to prove damages. At worst, if the damages are small, you may want to take them to small claims and get some money and put them on the record as a perjurer.

3) There are a number of instances where breaking into another's e-mail account at work may be trespass although it may not be certain whether you have rights under trespass to sue (although your employer may.) There may be other theories upon which to sue such as "intentional infliction of emotional distress."

4) The examples you cite may be evidence of witness tampering.

It is difficult to say with certainty that everything you state and my comments reflect the situation with complete accuracy. We don't know all the specific facts of the case. Be careful of what you say to make sure you don't slander this person. You may want to keep a running tab of your complaints by putting all your complaints and requests, e.g. to the prosecutor, in writing and sent via a certified method.

Thanks for the info

I have left no details out at all .

So why do they have laws such Perjury, Computer trespass, Witness Tampering, Invasion of Privacy, Malisios mischief?

If the Charged had a witness that lied you can bet the Prosicutor would go after him or her. But as long as you lie for the Prosicutor it makes it ok?

Unfortunately it's a question of priorities and resources and proof. If you have absolute proof of the lie, you should push the issue with the prosecutor. Many lies are not so easy to prove absolutely. Additionally, when you have so many cases dealing with rape, murder, theft, assault and battery, it's difficult where to place a perjury charge in a case that, e.g. might be small claims. I don't disagree with you and it is possible that the ADA might pursue that angle. However, most issues are not as clear as they seem. Hope it works out and that the offender gets what is coming to him/her.
