While Phil was revealing all to policewoman Kate in the form of the flashbacks, did he not reveal that Lisa tried to murder him? Surely the police now have it on tape that he lied in court about Dan trying to kill him instead? Can't they get him?
Can EE Phil get done for perjury now?
Every person who shall wilfully and corruptly swear, testify, or affirm falsely to any material matter under any oath, affirmation, or declaration legally administered in any matter, cause, or proceeding pending in any court of law or equity, or before any officer thereof, or in any case where an oath or affirmation is required by law or is necessary for the prosecution or defense of any private right or for the ends of public justice, or in any matter or proceeding before any tribunal or officer created by the Constitution or by law, or where any oath may be lawfully required by any judicial, executive, or administrative officer, shall be guilty of perjury, and shall not thereafter be received as a witness to be sworn in any matter or cause whatever, until the judgment against him be reversed.
The case has ended, he is not under oath anymore.

The fact that the paragraph above contains the words "the Constitution" makes me think that it was lifted from something American, but either way, he still lied while under oath, and then subsequently this has been revealed. Just because he didn't reveal it under oath doesn't mean he is any less reprehensible.

That's not strictly accurate in relation to what occured. An innocent man was sent to jail for a crime he did not commit. The police are now aware of information which would quash that conviction, they are not entitled to withold such information. Phil, by deliberately supplying false statements to the police was perverting the course of justice, which merits a custodial sentence except in exceptional circumstances.

Phil fingered him for the shooting and ensured that the police had the gun with which he had been shot. Phil's statement to the police, plus the fact that the police caught Dan in the Arches with the gun allegedly trying to kill Phil "again", was sufficient to convict him. However, as I said, Phil's statement to the police was false and therefore he perverted the course of justice.
In EastEnders Beppe was also guilty of perverting the course of justice when he burned the letter from Tiffany absolving Grant of any guilt in her accident. Beppe just lost his job...in real life a police officer perverting the course of justice would end up in jail almost without a doubt!

Aaah, yes I remember now!
I got confused, thinking you's meant he got the blame for Lisa going missing, that I forgot about the doorstep shooting.
Well, if you put it this way, then yes, Phil HAS perverted the cause of justice.
But as i said before, EE will probably by-pass over the fact, like they did in this (below) instance:-

Do you remember the time Dreary Barlow got banged up in Corrie?? I remember they were giving her pills and she was going "AH'M NOT MAD!!!""
lol!
lol!
I'm amazed the EE writers have overlooked Phil's perjury. If they do, this is a majoir error. The Phil/Kate storyline was dropped totally really soon after the flashback episode though, which I thought was really odd. They must pick it up again soon, or it will make no sense.
