>It's hard to believe someone is telling the truth when you know you'd be lying if you were in their place.

Would you lie if you knew you had an enemy who was just waiting for you to do that? Would you lie if you knew you could lose your job and/or go to jail if you got caught? Would you lie if you thought people would forgive you if you confessed and at least acted like you were sorry. I don't think most of us would - he did.
