It's not unusual for a lie to lack intent, courtesy of the imperfect human memory. If you tell someone you were at such and such location on such and such date, and that's your mistaken memory of it (it was eg actually two days prior), then you've just lied, and you did so without the intent to lie. This premise, specifically its infinite variations, is exceptionally common in human social interactions (particularly where there is tension, as in a job or relationship).
