CRIMINAL ACTIONS AGAINST WITNESS THAT GIVES FALSE STATEMENTS ON OATH IN THE TRIAL (CASE STUDY: FERDY SAMBO TRIAL AT SOUTH JAKARTA DISTRICT COURT)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines criminal acts against witnesses who provide false information on oath in court. In this case, the author focuses on the trial case that is currently underway, namely the case of the Ferdy Sambo Trial at the South Jakarta District Court. This study employs normative juridical methodology, which examines the law's rules (norms) in existing draft and favorable laws. According to the study's findings, this case was an obstruction of justice case in which several parties attempted to thwart law enforcement, both the defendant and the witnesses at the trial. This is done because there are still efforts to lighten the sentence given to the defendant. Furthermore, efforts to enforce a fair law against victims must be pursued so that the judge has the right to impose sanctions on witnesses who are proven to have given testimony under oath and may be subject to imprisonment for 7 (seven) to 9 (nine) years and sanctions for revocation of rights based on Article 35 No. 1-4, by the provisions of Criminal Code Article 242. Thus, law enforcers are expected to be more assertive in making decisions so that witnesses who give false information on oath can be quickly handled and punished according to the crime they have committed so that efforts to prosecute this case and give punishment to the accused can be carried out fairly.
