Hardy case reversal tests perjury precedent and notary oath
The Texas Court of Appeals overturned a felony perjury conviction against Dearl Hardy, ruling prosecutors failed to prove he pressured Deputy Joslin to file a sworn affidavit against Coates. The ruling hinges on a 1954 Lowry v. State precedent requiring witnesses to show the affiant appeared before a notary. The majority says evidence is legally insufficient. a dissent cites newer cases suggesting notarized affidavits may suffice. The state plans to seek further review, while Hardy remains indicted on two other charges.
