Bad move, Dr. Superdoc. It was the left ear. Guessing in court is always a bad idea. The best thing that can happen if you guess wrong is that you will be presented with a document that shows you were wrong. You look stupid, and it casts doubt over everything else you said.
In your case, things get even worse. The judge decided that your false statement was material, meaning that it mattered to the case. The judge wasn’t so sure it was accidental, as you clearly wanted to throw the defense attorney off track.
Lawers have a word for intentionally making a false, material statement in court – and that word is perjury. Lawyers also have a punishment for perjury – which is a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
So, you wind up finishing your intern year as a “guest” of the state. You find that life in the county jail in many respects resembles internship. You still have no life, try to sleep on a crummy bed, eat bad food, and get woken up by crazy people at odd hours of the night. Unfortunately, your participation is no longer capped at 80 hours per week.
Care to try again?
Regardless of which ear the bruise was on, Nevaeh’s bruise looked a lot more like a pinch mark.
I’m not sure. Could I look at my visit note and refresh my memory.
