Napue v. Illinois

 * Symbol voting keep.svg ... that the US Supreme Court held in 1959 that it is unconstitutional for a prosecutor to knowingly use false testimony, even if it does not directly relate to the defendant's guilt? "In Napue v. Illinois, the Supreme Court found that prosecutors are prohibited from using false testimony both when the false testimony applies to the defendant’s guilt and when it applies to a witness’s credibility" (, click "Download")
 * ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Papal conclave, 1689
 * Comment: I think the hook is a little lame so I might come back and suggest some more.

 * Hi! QPQ was linked above – Template:Did you know nominations/Papal conclave, 1689. I don't believe anything in the article constituted close paraphrasing, but even if you think it was close paraphrasing of the decision, it would be permissible because the source is public domain (as a work of the US federal government) and the article accords with Close paraphrasing and Plagiarism (footnote 8 uses PD-notice).

 * Ok—approved. Let me know if you come up with another hook. Catrìona (talk) 13:11, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Is there anything still wrong with the current hook? Seems fine to me. Mz7 (talk) 19:24, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with the current hook, but Kevin said that he thought it was "lame" and was considering coming up with another one. Catrìona (talk) 19:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Let's just go ahead with the current hook – I can't think of anything else. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 21:50, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to that. Catrìona (talk) 22:06, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Could you add a tick in your inline comments here so the bot picks it up? Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 02:19, 13 August 2018 (UTC)=
