its quite dependant on what the person said if they told you they were elsewhere you could try and check these things, but the law will catch up on you eventually and the truth comes out then.

no i would 'hold out' but not lie for the person, to lie is an admission of a cover up on the guilty parties request, you are still guilty of something if you lie about it to the police, and she lied for him.
i do know she lied for him to protect him but a lie is a lie and she lied to the police.
