  • Modelling Perjury: Between Trust and Blame
    Int J Semiot Law https://doi.org/10.1007/s11196-021-09818-w Modelling Perjury: Between Trust and Blame Izabela Skoczeń1 Accepted: 4 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract I investigate: (1) to what extent do folk ascriptions of lying difer between casual and courtroom contexts? (2) to what extent does motive (reason) to lie infuence ascriptions of trust, mental states, and lying judgments? (3) to what extent are lying judgments consistent with previous ascriptions of communicated content? Follow- ing the Supreme Court’s Bronston judgment, I expect: (1) averaged lying judgments to be similar in casual and courtroom contexts; (2) motive to lie to infuence levels of trust, mental states ascriptions, and patterns of lying judgments; (3) retrospective judgments of lying, after being presented with the state of the world, to be incon- sistent with previous judgments of communicated content: participants hold the protagonist responsible for content she did not communicate. I performed a survey experiment on the Qualtrics platform. Participants were recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 630). I employed standard Likert scales and forced-choice questions. I found that: (1) average lying judgments are similar in casual and court- room contexts; (2) motive to lie decreases trust ascription and increases lying judg- ment; (3) judgments of lying are inconsistent with previous judgments of communi- cated content: participants hold the protagonist responsible for content they did not communicate (efect size of the diference d = .69). Perjury ascriptions are incon- sistent. The Supreme Court’s worries expressed in the Bronston judgment are well founded. This article helps reforming jury instructions in perjury cases.

  • Sophia Loren Et Al., Plaintiffs, V. Samuel Bronston
    32 Misc.2d 602 (1962) Sophia Loren et al., Plaintiffs, v. Samuel Bronston Productions, Inc., et al., Defendants. Supreme Court, Special Term, New York County. January 24, 1962 Hess Mela Segall Popkin & Guterman (​Lionel S. Popkin​, ​Lee N. Steiner​ and ​Robert Schur of counsel), for plaintiffs. ​William B. Jaffe​ and ​Alfred M. Rosen​ for Allied Artists Distributing Corporation, defendant. Schwartz & Frohlich (​Ferdinand Pecora​ and ​Stuart G. Schwartz​ of counsel), for Stanley Warner Management Corporation, defendant. ​Jesse Moss​ and ​Stanley B. Judd​ for Samuel Bronston Productions, Inc., and another, defendants. SAMUEL H. HOFSTADTER, J. The egocentricity which appears to be indigenous to "show business" is here manifested by the passionate insistence of a well-known motion-picture actress to have her name emblazoned on Broadway not only in the same type of the same size, but also on the same line, as that of her male lead. Such vanity — "the frail estate of human things", a "splendid but destructive egotism", as it has variously been called — doubtless is due in measurable part to the adulation which the public showers on the denizens of the entertainment world in a profusion wholly disproportionate to the instrinsic contribution which they make to the scheme of things when seen in correct perspective. For that matter often in disproportion to any true talent, latent or apparent! Sophia Loren, the world-famed winner of the New York Film Critics' Award as the outstanding motion picture actress of 1961, and a corporation, owning the exclusive right to her services, of which her husband, Carlo Ponti is the president and sole stockholder, as plaintiffs, have brought this action for an injunction against the producer and the distributor of the epic motion picture "El Cid", which opened at the Warner Theatre in this city on December 14, 1961 and is being shown there to capacity houses.
