Episode Description
Telling the court something wrong is not the same as lying to it, and that difference can decide whether you walk out or get charged.
We go through what counts as false evidence, why being drunk or high is rarely a defense, how to postpone a court hearing properly, how the court decides a case when it is one person's word against another, and what to do if you have been falsely accused.
There are also a few things people do out of politeness, like apologizing, that can be used against them later.
