§ 210.30 Perjury; no defense.

It is no defense to a prosecution for perjury that:

1. The defendant was not competent to make the false statement

alleged; or

2. The defendant mistakenly believed the false statement to be

immaterial; or

3. The oath was administered or taken in an irregular manner or that

the authority or jurisdiction of the attesting officer who administered

the oath was defective, if such defect was excusable under any statute

or rule of law.
