    They can put charges on you for lying in court as a witness. You can get 6 months to 15 years in prison if you lie under outh.

    And if you don’t want to say anything as a witness, you also get detention for up to 6 months. Oh. And they have to pay for it.

    Thats what I figured out after a quick Google search at least

    In most cases they lie and say: “I really would want to testify, but I can’t really remember anymore.” and it’s pretty hard to prove that their memory isn’t shit.
