Perjury

Perjury was the crime of deliberately giving false information when under oath to affirm a wholly truthful statement. This could occur in a document or in spoken testimony at a legal proceeding. The act is intended to subvert and undermine the authority of institutions charged with administering justice, eliciting a miscarriage of justice. A person who perjured was named as a perjurer.

It was later found that the computer had been altered by Finney in an attempt to frame Kirk for his death. ()
