Would you commit perjury in court for your closest friend, even to save his/her life?

No, because then I have a chance to burn in h-e-double hockeysticks.

as she's your friend, you should'nt lie to her. once you lie, you have to cover it up with a bigger lie and you'll soon get into trouble.

Heck,  no!  It's illegal!  Do you want to risk prosecution and incarceration for the sake of your friend's illegal habit?

i was a juror many moons ago and let me tell you it was a farce!\ni was approached by a defence witness and to cut a long story short she ended up serving 6 months. the girl didn't tell me anything i already know and yes she shouldn't of approached me, but i think she was desperate. she also had a 6 week old baby who was put into care for the length of her sentence. The reason for the confidentiality is so that outside influences don't cloud your judgement. the decision should be entirelly upto you, on whether you convict or not. i know that after the case my husband would've voted differently to me so if i had of talked to other people then i may of been swayed

None... I have a few people I care a great deal about behind bars for various reasons, but I have not "lost" any of them.... Unlike most people who will write off a close friend if that person gets in trouble, I've chosen to keep my friends... I write, I visit, I accept the outrageously expensive phone calls, I keep them up to date with hometown gossip and, in one case, I'm helping keep the legal issues on track while the conviction is being appealed.\nNo, I've never lost a friend to prison because I have continued to be a friend.

Rock bottom might be the wake-up call for your friend. Telling the police and showing the tapes might just save your friends life.

The biggest dillusion in the world today is people assuming they can manipulate another person.  You simply cannot make others do what you want them to do.  You can ask him if he did it... if he says no then everything you do from there on is going to be met with his attempts to proove his innocence.  Even if he is quilty.  People today are not taught at home or at school the importance of personal character and without it they are able to convince themselves that they did nothing wrong because right and wrong are relative factors.  My best advise is to either prosecute or drop it.  Trying to force someone to admit to something they have denied is futile, not to mention aggrivating.

well for a start,a real friend would'nt lie...my belief is tell the truth and shame the devil..you get nowhere lying,and your in big troublewhen the truth comes out..i have a policy where my kids or friends get told,the worst thing anyone could do to me is lie...its a trust thing :o)

yes it is possible to sue someone you've never met personaly\n\nno I dont think it would be possible to sue for that though, people lie all the time, and its not like he suffered a fninancil loss or anything, maybe he could say emotional distress but I think he would have a hard time proving and suing for that

Dear Friend,\n\nIf that's all there is to the story, there is a 0% chance you're going to jail.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

Alright, little idiot.  I do not think you should do that.  In fact, if anyone who knows you knows you posted this question and you DO decide to do that, it could be construed as an attempt to MURDER your friend.  And I use the term FRIEND loosely in this instance because you don't sound like any parts of a friend if this holds even the slightest bit of appeal for you.

I defiantly wouldn't want to put anyone in danger in the first place, but if I had to choose, I would choose my closest friend. He's always there for me and I know he would do the same. Even though I would save anyone who I saw drowning.

It would seem to pose a dilemma, however, in my opinion I am tempted to believe them up until the time that I catch them telling the truth and which will eventually happen if one engages the liar into a lengthy discussion.\nWith the proper question posed at a particular time within the discourse the truth will 'blurt.'\nA question such as "Do you want to be treated to a free steak dinner on me?" \nHope this does it.

Of course I approve. If we didn't have lawyers then you could be arrested and tried for anything without a defense. Everyone is entitled to a defense. What if you were innocent? Your lawyer would be your best friend and only friend in some cases.

the procedures are the same as if filing against anyone, although I would first always talk to the person unless this is unsafe.\n\nI like to give people the benefit of the doubt first, talk to them, and if I need take other to talk to him or her.
