Remember, every profession defends its own members from outsiders. Doctors are reluctant to testify against other doctors. Mike Nifong committed felony subornation of perjury in his effort to make the Duke rape cases stick and he still hasn't spent a day in jail. It took years to get him disbarred. And the following quote was written in 1960 by the late Mark Clifton.
Any judge, anybody around the courts, anybody connected with the press, and maybe even some of the public knew that any police officer will swear to any lie to back up another police officer because he might need the favor returned tomorrow.
I'll believe sanctions in both this and Prenda when they actually happen.

This may not play out against him.
