Would you do it for a friend?

Break the law that is, in any way. Lying under oath, buying alcohol, etc. A friend of mine was getting a divorce and I had to testify. She had told the lawyer one very important and untrue detail. On the car ride to the courthouse, she told me about it and asked me to go along with it. When I got on the stand, I told the truth. We are no longer friends. Do you think I did the right thing?

I think you did just the right thing. Being a true friend means you just don't tolerate your friend's doing. Even if it is because she wants to speed up the trial or something. It is hard to lie under oath, the truth will prevail. If she no longer wants your friendship because of what happened, then you now know her true colors. I hope she comes around though.
When my friend started to file cases for their annulment, I purposely asked not to get involved since I both know them and they are bot my godparent's when I got confirmed before I got married. She insisted on making me a witness, i profusely declined. the reason, I didn't want something like this to happen.

Well, I was accidently there when the you-know-what hit the fan. They were fighting over their son. I wanted to be friends with her, but lying under oath is a big deal. If they found me out, I would go to jail for perjury. But, I mean, is she really a good friend if she asks me to do that? Would she do the same for me if I asked her to? I doubt it.
