A:
more info is needed.
this is something you should discuss with your private or PD attorney who has all the info in front of him/her.
that may or may not affect guilt or innocence......but is certainly something a jury might take into account.
why is it false info if you were arrested? possibly accurate info???

It depends on what false information was provided, under what circumstances, and many other potential factors. You should consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney to determine your best options and how to proceed.
