How do you get someone who has lied about an incident to confess to the truth and what penalty can they face if they confess?

Answer 1

If it is a criminal situation, you would call the police and give them the tip. They will handle the rest. The penalty is going to depend on the laws of your area and the severity and type of the crime.

Answer 2

To encourage someone to confess, approach them in a calm and non-confrontational manner and stress the importance of honesty. Offer them the opportunity to come clean without facing severe consequences if they confess voluntarily. The penalty they may face for confessing depends on the severity of the incident and the relevant laws or policies in place. Showing remorse and willingness to make amends can also influence the final outcome.
