Not a comment on the case, but I would be surprised if there was a trial with multiple witnesses and everyone told the truth. As for perjury, the risk of jail time is minimal unless there is something else you did wrong. As it should be. Otherwise, people would be afraid to testify for fear that, even if innocent and likely to be acquitted, they were opening themselves up to the high monetary and emotional cost of mounting a defense.
