Comments on: You Shall Not Bear False Witness http://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/2008/04/16/you-shall-not-bear-false-witness/ Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

It forbids something much more specific and limited: giving false evidence against a defendant in court.
