Let's say you are charged with robbing a bank - you didn't do it, but you are accused anyway. As part of the case, you give the alibi that you were at the Quickie-Mart getting a Squishy, but the security camera clearly finds that you poured yourself a cup of coffee - it was three years ago and you weren't sure. You are immediately charged with lying, but not charged with robbing the bank. That's pretty much the case.

It's worse.

You should have put in that there was in fact no bank robbed.
