There's a de-facto fallacy in way you phrased the argument, but the name still escapes me.

For now, all I have to do is point out your presumptuousness. The question here wouldn't revolve around motives to either lie or tell the truth, but rather what one would typically expect from a given individual's character in relation to their view of friends and/or family. You really have no idea whether or not someone who lied about the case would necessarily put greater consideration into a level of risk over their own perception of social justice and revenge like, for instance, the parents when they lied about Martin's voice--or the prosecutor who only tried Zimmerman due to social pressure.

Furthermore, because the integrity of her statements can neither be confirmed nor falsified by anyone else but her, she's subject to little to no risk of being tried for perjury.
