    Please amend Rules of Evidence to ensure complaints of Perjury are investigated and prosecuted. The Rules must be mandatory for all Civil and Criminal Courts.

    The justice system cannot function without truth in the courtroom. No evidence can be found that the perjury statutes per ARS 13 Chapter 27 are being enforced. False evidence leads to injustice and excessive litigation. Please do not forget details such as 18 USC 1622 "Subornation of Perjury" or suppressing exculpatory evidence which is fraud or lying by omission.

    There is statute and Constitutional amendments in the legislature to correct this. Of course we also need court rules which technically do not require any other authorities since Due Process is mandatory today. Lying on the Court record is a violation of Due Process and the Court should recognize this as obvious and create such rules by themselves. If not, the People can produce statute and a Constitutional Amendment to force the Courts to protect the Due Process Rights of the People.

    Call any law enforcement agency as an ordinary citizen and try to report such a crime, and see what happens. Nothing. The People insist that our Due Process Rights be protected. We are not picky about which manner this imperative is achieved.

    Sincerely,
