"...Fair Trial... "

5. During trial, if warrants that led to an indictment was discovered to contain false statements for probable cause, is this a violation to the 5th Amendment?
6. When a judge becomes aware of physical evidence that materially contradicts the testimony of a witness, who received a plea agreement contingent upon truthful testimony, does allowing that testimony to stand constitutes a fair trial violation?
7.
