And any reasonable lawyer, hearing her on television, says you can’t any longer accept what’s in that affidavit,” Dershowitz stated.

If that turns out to be fact, she belongs in the court of law, being prosecuted with the presumption of innocence and a defender. But if the evidence shows that she committed perjury, prison.”
