My friend's murder...HELP?

Question

i have to go in front of the grand jury tmr to talk about what i know about my friends murder.

my boyfriend was aquaintences with the murderer, and we had talked to the murder that day, casually.

though me and my bf were not involved with the murder we still knew some stuff about the murderer (how he had a gun...how he wanted to rob someone)

PROBLEM: My boyfriend already went to talk in front of the grand jury and he lied a little saying he didnt kno the murderer had a gun, or we made one call to the murderer that day....not two....stuff like that.

i believe he was just nervous he might get framed for this or something.

well now im stucckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

because ive already given the police a videotaped statement saying exactly how i rmemebered that night.

if i tell the grand jury what i kno.... then my bf gets in trouble for lying under oath

if i change the story a little to save him......i might look dumb because my videotape says othewise.......

IDK WHAT TO DO AHHHHHH

help?!

=(

Answer 1

"if i change the story a little to save him......i might look dumb because my videotape says othewise......."

If you "change the story a little" then looking dumb will be the least of your problems.

Lying under oath is a FELONY. With your prior videotaped statement to impeach your testimony, if you commit perjury in a murder trial YOU WILL GO TO PRISON!

Tell the truth.  You don't want to discredit yourself in a murder situation.  Tell exactly what you know, and answer the questions posed.  It's possible they may not ask you the exact questions he was asked, but it's likely they will.  

Sometimes people DO remember things differently, so just because your boyfriend "remembered" things differently does not mean they will automatically think he was lying.  And if they do, it's really not something that you also want to take the fall for and perjure yourself on the witness stand.  

I think your boyfriend made the wrong choice by lying or omitting facts.  It's very likely this person will be convicted by lots of other evidence than just your boyfriend's statement, like other corroborating evidence and direct physical evidence that has nothing to do with you.

Keep yourself out of trouble and say just what you know.  Good luck.

Answer 3

Tell the complete truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Or else you'll go down!

It's ya bf's fault for lieing anyway, you shouldn't have to take the rap 4 it!

Answer 4

That is how women end up in trouble-prison or worse. By "helping" their bf's. Your bf deciding to lie or change his story-that's his choice!

I think your choice is pretty obvious.  

Answer 5

Tell the truth. In this situation there IS NO OTHER best answer.  Good luck!!!

Answer 6

You need to tell him to come clean. You don't want to put him in the situation, and you need to tell the truth. If you don't want to be responsible for that, just have him talk with the judge and have him come clean. It will be way better for him to admit it than him getting caught.

Answer 7

Ok, here's what I say to do... Tell what you know how you know it happened. Now, I'd say that if you remember he had a gun, maybe your boyfriend didn't... so that isnt' a lie... maybe he also didn't remember that you only made one call instead of two...

Tell the truth as you know it, as much as you are overly worried about it, you should be more worried about lieing under oath for yourself than your boyfriend... Though I suspect that what he said is nothing to be worried about...

Answer 8

You will be under oath. I urge you to tell the truth for your sake.

Ask your friend to go and confess to what he knows. It will be to his

benefit for sure.

You must be as honest and accurate as possible.  It cannot be your responsibility to "save" a man who may have perjured himself by his false testimony before the grand jury.  This is a felony.  Keep your distance and do not go down when he is taken down.  You do not have to follow his bad judgment.

This is NOT about your relationship to a guy with very questionable judgment and worse ethics.  It is about solving a murder.
