3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 4.26
False in One, False in All (Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus)
If you believe that a witness knowingly testified falsely concerning any
important matter, you may distrust the witness’s testimony concerning other
matters. You may reject all of the testimony or you may accept such parts of
the testimony that you believe are true and give it such weight as you think it
deserves.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
