You only get convicted if charges are formally brought against you, you are tried on those charges, and you are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

false accusations / false tesimony is perjury which is a felony to the 3rd degree. depends if the prosecuter is pissed off. somewhat common in civil cases, but for criminal cases, thats a no-no.

She's wrong. Perjury is lying under oath, sure. But it's not a felony, it's a misdemeanor.
