Re: Perjury

You need to retain counsel. If you cannot afford a private lawyer, you should go with a public defender or some other court appointed lawyer. Only a lawyer who is very familiar with all aspects of your case can help you.

If you are not planning on getting a private lawyer, call the Public Defender's office at the courthouse where your case is being heard.

As far as the warrant goes, it is difficult to tell you what is going to happen without knowing more. If you show up soon, and you have a good excuse for the reasons for which the warrant was issued, you will not necessarily go to jail. The worst thing you can do is to ignore the problem. You must come to court voluntarily and as soon as absolutely possible.
