No person shall be convicted of an offense defined in §§ 52.15, 52.20 or 52.30 of the Criminal and Correctional Code when proof of falsity rests solely upon contradiction by testimony of a single person other than the defendant. Proof of falsity may be established by direct or indirect evidence. NOTE: Section 95.20 supersedes former § 1103a. It has been revised to conform in part to § 1103a of the California Penal Code and also to include the new offenses of official false swearing (Section 52.20) and unsworn falsification (§ 52.30) added to the Criminal and Correctional Code. See also Guam Code Civ. Proc. § 1968 (proof and perjury requires testimony of one witness and corroborating circumstances). See generally B. Witkin, California Evidence 2d Introduction of Evidence at Trial § 1123 (1966, Supp. 1972); 2 B. Witkin, California Crimes, Crimes Against Governmental Authority §§ 854-859 (1963), Supp. 1967).
