Also, if you say something inconsistent, no matter how trivial, whether it has anything to do with the alleged crime or not, even if you are completely innocent, it will likely destroy your credibility in front of the jury and thus they will believe whatever paranoid fantasy the prosecution makes up. It could be something as trivial as you came back from your trip two months ago in the afternoon not in the evening as you had claimed, for example.
- randallsquared 15y agoIf you say something inconsistent, you've lied to a federal officer, which is itself good for a prison term, as Martha Stewart learned (leaving aside the actual lie, which if I recall correctly was asserting that she did not do something which they couldn't get enough evidence of her doing to convict her for it...).
