This is why investigation and the ability to cross examine are vital to your defense. This is what your lawyer would be required to do for you. Somewhere in the web of lies the cops or the witness would have to weave would be a detail that reveals the truth of the situation. You need a zealous lawyer.
   
   Many modern cars have computer systems that can show if a car was driving or on at a certain time. It could be a place to start to prove you were not driving and that someone is going to commit perjury to try to convict you.
