She would appeal that one on constitutional grounds. IIRC, the lie that
she told was that she proclaimed her innocence -- part of her right to
due process. It would be like charging people with perjury for pleading
"not guilty" in a trial if they were eventually convicted.

So I'll ammend my prediction a little: *long* prison sentence if she's
convicted, overturned on appeal.
