1. “In other words, extrinsic fraud occurs where a defendant has somehow been prevented from participating in a cause.... Intrinsic fraud, on the other hand, applies to fraudulent conduct that arises within a proceeding and pertains to the issues in the case that have been tried or could have been tried. This Court, consistent with the general rule, has expressly held that false testimony given in a proceeding is intrinsic fraud.”

2. “The fraud committed by Thompson was the concealment of his true condition. Thompson “lied” to the court both directly at court appearances and indirectly through the court-appointed experts and an officer of .the court (defense counsel). Like perjury, this conduct constitutes intrinsic fraud, see DeClaire, 453 So.2d at 380 , and cannot serve as a basis for setting aside a judgment.”
