Is it possible to prove one has lied about their views? This seems like a matter of opinion and thus impossible to prosecute.

If Walter had previously done such things as: posted white supremacist (WS) views on a website; discussed WS views with others who would testify; boasted that he would get the accused off; participated in WS events; formally joined WS groups, particularly one led by the accused; corresponded with the accused about WS events; had WS literature in his home; contributed money to group led by the accused; been convicted of hate crimes; written and published WS pamphlets or books; that might be evience that Walter lied under oath in noir dire. Views ofte leave evidence.

Is the voir dire part of the public written record? In other words, if Walter's boss was not present in court, could he later look up the selection process records to see what Walter said? Or is the voir dire not recorded word for word like a trial, say.

@BruceWayne I think so but I am not sure. I am sure that reporters can and do attend and report on the voir dite and such reports may be published.
