The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“No person shall be disqualified to testify as a witness in any court of this state by reason of conviction of any crime, but his testimony shall be received in evidence under the rules, as any other testimony. Evidence of such conviction, including the fact that the prior conviction was for the crime of perjury, may be given to affect the credibility of the said witness, and such conviction may be proved by questioning the proposed witness or, if he deny it, by producing a record of his conviction. Testimony of the general reputation of said witness may likewise be given in evidence to affect his credibility.”

State“The crime of knowingly giving false information to any law enforcement officer, Section 837.05, Florida Statutes (1975), is found in the perjury chapter. See Chapter 837, Florida Statutes (1975). Although the false information is not rendered under oath, it still is a form of perjury. In addition, like all of other forms of perjury such a conviction has greater weight against the credibility of a witness than any other crime.”
