Another thing to consider is that the prosecutor would have to prove to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the celebrity had drugs. The celebrity wouldn’t have to testify that they lied under oath, their lawyer could just argue that the government didn’t meet that burden. Maybe their client lied under oath (that’s a different crime the government would have to prove). Maybe their client was just mistaken in their testimony. Either way, no hard evidence that the celebrity is actually guilty of the specific crime.
