I guess your definition of "very bad" would be key; however, I know here in Michigan the former mayor of Detroit was charged with perjury for lying under oath in a civil trial about having an affair. Some thought that was not that bad. The Wayne County prosecutors thought otherwise.
It might not need to be "that bad" to land a perjury charge. Just saying.

Welcome to Websleuths!!
Once she is impeached, by being shown a transcript of her earlier statements she made under oath, to refresh her memory, if despite that fact, she still insists she never said that , that would qualify as perjury. IMO the State will not come after her legally with charges for that. They will thoroughly prove to the the jury, if, as and when the need arises that Mom is testifying with a clear bias and is not being forthcoming. That will be done with little or no effort.
For now, in the pre trail hearings we can safely assume this judge has had many a mother take to the stand and give the no, not my child lies. He can see through Mrs. Anthony, just as we can. He is nobody's fool, least of all Cindy Anthony's. If Brad tells her nothing else, he should tell her the truth of that fact.
There will be no yelling or her posing questions or her refusing to answer being allowed. Judge Perry is not Mr. Morgan. A murder trial is a lot different than the civil matter.
None of that nonsense will be tolerated. Not one bit.
Jeff and Linda ( not to mention this Judge ) have questioned people far more clever than Cindy Anthony. They are going to get to the truth. Watch here when George Anthony tries to venture off the truth. Mrs. Drane-Burdick, stays calm, redirects him, focuses in on her question, and voila poor George doesn't realize he is now proving the exact opposite of what he was trying to portray.
They have got this. Have good faith!

Cindy Anthony can try anything she may like, and Jose Baez may object how ever many times he may like. The judge will settle the matter with one word, overruled! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPePU8QtcSY[/ame]
