Appellate Court of Illinois May 26, 1978, 14413 (People v. Mason)

Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE MILLS

delivered the opinion of the court:

The defendant before us is a self-admitted liar.

But did he commit perjury as defined by our statute?

We fear not — and we are compelled to reverse.

The facts are not in great issue. On August 21, 1975, David Grinestaff was murdered during a gas station stickup.
