She would appeal that one on constitutional grounds. IIRC, the lie that she told was that she
proclaimed her innocence -- part of her right to due process. It would be like charging people with
perjury for pleading "not guilty" in a trial if they were eventually convicted.
So I'll ammend my prediction a little: *long* prison sentence if she's convicted, overturned
on appeal.
