Diana plans to testify truthfully, admitting presence but denying participation in the crime. On trial day, after opening statements, Alex advises Derek that testifying falsely is both illegal and unethical. Alex explains that if Derek lies on the stand, Alex may have to take remedial measures, including attempting to have Derek correct the testimony or potentially disclosing the falsehood to the court. Diana testifies truthfully, admitting presence at the scene but denying involvement. When Derek takes the stand, he testifies under oath that he was home all night.
