Would you be willing to commit perjury in court for a close friend? What if your lie would save his life?

Tough question. Normally I would so no. But to be honest, I have never been in that position so I can't know how it really feels. I hope I never find out...

i would ask him yourself. no one else knows him here like you do.  Your friend may or may not of told you the truth either. He may have said yes. But he also may have said no. Have some dignity for yourself and ask him yourself. He would respect you more for doing that.

May have been probable cause...if there are no other witnesses then the other person must have made a statement that included your friend. All your friends lawyer has to do is prove the other fellow was lying or too much under the influence that he didnt know what he was talking about. It sounds like the other fellow turned states evidence. His testimony will be needed in court.

I would definately be calling the authorities. That is highly illegal and your friend can prosecute!!! I know for a fact I would and all involved will go down.

Depends on the type of person you are, it's hard for me to lie, never been good at it. I have been taught that it's easier to tell the truth because you need to make up another lie to cover the previous. and the truth is a matter of fact. when your not out to hurt the people you love you don't need to lie.

Accept the fact that you have a liar for a friend or dump the friend. The choice is yours.

Yes.  They may not be bound by Christian ethics, but if they lie, they have committed perjury and can do jail time for it.

well give him time and tell him how the friend told you alot of lies. Just let it be and if its meant to happen then it will.  When he sees how cool you are about the whole situation he will come for you

Think before asking a question like this. Think. Why do you think they'd lie?

Looks like you have a problem.  If he is not going to the police and press charges it might be best to just leave it alone.  If this person is in your office, do not add more fuel to the fire by denying what is a lie.  A lie can not have legs unless you give them legs.  You have I suppose stated you did not steel anything, and that is the end of the issue.  There can be no proof, cause you have nothing that he can prove you have done.\n\nI would distant myself from him.  Make sure you protect yourself, so as he does not try to set you up in one way or another.  \n\nIf there is a superior you can go to have him put a stop to his actions at least at work.\n\nThose that know and love you will take you at face value.  Do not disappoint them. Stay true to yourself and get on with your life.  Those of your relationships that would believe a lie, then let them go.  as they say, "friends like that you don't need."  Make new ones.\n\nBy the way, I am taking you at face value and believe you.  Now walk in the truth and put the lie behind you.

yes, why not!\nespecially if you do not care about your friend!!!`

Absolutely.  It's either obstruction of justice or perjury, depending on the specific circumstances in which the false evidence was provided.\n\nThis presumes that it was provided deliberately and knowingly.\n\nAnd the innocent person can also attempt to sue the person providing false evidence, but that is rarely successful due to immunity laws for witnesses.  It's worth checking on in your particular jurisdiction, however.

You have to look at the entire pleading in context.  Unless the pleading is verified under penalty of perjury, none of the allegations can be grounds for perjury.  Furthermore, you need to look at the specific nature of the allegations and the qualifiers.  If the declaration alleges something based on "information and belief" as opposed to personal knowledge, that doesn't support a charge of perjury if determined to be false.  Finally, the phrase "believes and avers" might have a specific meaning under the laws of your state that might be unique.

It depends on if it was to protect you, or to hurt you.  Friends shouldn't lie to each other, but people do make mistakes.  Mistakes can be forgiven.  Use your own judgement, and go with your gut feelings.  Good Luck.
