You can believe all that if you want along with the tooth fairly and santa.
It doesn’t make any difference. She lied and she knew she was lying.

And you can’t prove it, the best you can do is say “I think she’s lying.” But under Florida law, that’s not sufficient:

This Court has held that statements alleged to be perjurious must be of “empirical fact” and not of opinion, belief or perception…. One of the essential elements of perjury in official proceedings is that the person making the statement does not believe it to be true… The questions posed to elicit perjured testimony must be asked with the appropriate specificity necessary to result in an equally specific statement of fact.
