Re: If a person recants...
A: It is perjury, a class D felony, to lie under oath about relevant facts.
B: If the prosecutor knowingly puts on false testimony, he is subject to professional discipline. If the person was already convicted, you need to sit down with a criminal attorney and discuss your options. This can't be answered in a sentence or two.
Good luck.
