Prosecutors must show that someone knowingly gave false statements under oath in order to mislead or obstruct an investigation, said Bennett Gershman, a law professor at Pace University in New York and a former Manhattan prosecutor. Proving perjury also requires that those false statements are "material" to the central issues of a case. "It's a very tight area that the prosecutor has to navigate through in order to both charge perjury and convict that person of perjury," he said. "It's not something that's easily done." Gershman, who reviewed the Tisaby indictment, characterized Tisaby's misstatements as "side issues" that don't seem central enough to the Greitens case to give rise to perjury charges. "It seems to me they're using perjury in a very, very attenuated way," he said. "Usually perjury charges go to significant issues in the case — the individual lies about these significant issues in order to thwart the investigator. Using the charge of perjury in this matter, to me, is a stretch."

Pace University Professor Bruce Bachenheimer: There are a number of reasons why a business card would be more advantageous to a small business than using personal credit cards. Common reasons are more sophisticated expense tracking and reporting and the ability to set customizable spending limits. Small business owners should also recognize that employees may not be comfortable using their personal credit cards, filing an expense report, and then waiting for reimbursement. While consumer protection laws generally do not apply to business cards, issuers may still extend protections to be competitive.

Pace University Professor Sally S. Dickerson: The pandemic is characterized a great deal of uncertainty and uncontrollability – factors that we know can activate stress responses (e.g., “fight/flight” response, release of the stress hormone cortisol). Practices such as meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature can be beneficial by activating systems that can lead to restorative shifts psychologically and physiologically, therefore potentially reducing pandemic-related stress responses.
