Episode Details

A Wilmington man, Barry Eugene Harris Junior, 67, was convicted of perjury after falsely swearing under oath that a New Hanover County judge physically assaulted him during a court hearing. The false claim — that Judge Jeffrey Noecker shoved him into the witness box and yelled — emerged in a legal battle over assets with his ex-wife. An audio recording from the November 2024 hearing contradicted Harris’s story, leading to his conviction on September 11. He received two years supervised probation, a suspended prison term of 13 to 25 months, and 48 hours in jail. His wife also filed a similar affidavit, but the jury couldn’t reach a verdict on her case. This case underscores the serious consequences of lying under oath and the legal system’s reliance on truth.
