Would you lie....?

Following on from the Maxinne Carr thread below..

If your partner was accused of murder, and begged you to lie on their behalf to the police- would you?

No way.

Same if it was my children.

We had this one before remember?

If my kid was definitely guilty of murdering someone elses child / father / mother and i found out.

id turn them in.

i must hope that that would never happen but if it did id be as bad as a murderer if i knowingly tried to cover it up

Depends on who they murdered and why.

It really depends on the nature of my partner killing someone. If he killed someone as an act of self defence or to protect a loved one, then I would probably keep quiet or lie.

If the situation was like Maxine Carr's, then I would shop him myself. There is no reason on earth, that anyone should protect a child killer or any killer, who has killed out of greed, perversion or just out of being a nasty piece of work.

Ahhh, but that's the thing Legend- you don't know for definite.

Just because the police accuse tthem of it, it doesn't mean they did it.

You love you partner, couldn't believe they'd do such a thing, well they couldn't could they? Someone you love, with all your heart murdering? It's beyond your realms of belief.

So again...if they convinced you of their innocence, and you believed them (possibly because you really, really, really want to).

Would you lie for them?

in my view an innocent person would ask you to help prove their innocence ... not lie to the police !

I see some people have never had any dealings with the police when theyre accused of anything then...

If youd lie for a murderer then wouldnt you coverup for a rapist or someone who almost killed someone , like beating them until in a coma?

Its the slippery slope

wher do you draw the line?

ok to kill someone drink driving cos you only had 3 pints and they stepped out etc

not for me

You're living up to your username Mr K.

It's a genuine question, if you can't reply and stick to this particular question, don't bother at all- thanks :-)

No i wouldn't. If they were genuinely innocent then i would hope that the evidence would speak for itself.

I would never forgive myself if i covered up for them and they were indeed guilty. Even if they were innocent and you gave a false alibi how would that look if you were found out.

If you've nothing to hide you tell the truth.
