Keating v. Superior Court

[261 P.2d 529].) The case was tried without a jury, and after the conclusion of testimony the trial judge, Honorable Samuel F. Finley, said with reference to defendants testimony, "I know some of those statements he made were untrue and palpably false; and I think a situation of this kind to a certain extent is a situation that the grand jury ought to investigate, . . . because people shouldnt be permitted to take the stand and give testimony that is false." He then orally announced that judgment would be given against defendant in the sum of $35,000.
