Si certus es dubita
Is it just me or does anyone else hate the "falsely stated" or "falsely did XYZ"?
Because it's just a weird way of phrasing it. Obviously intentionally avoiding the word lie, but falsely just seems like the wrong word.
I think it is more appropriate to use "falsely stated" in a news article or an investigation, and "lied" in an editorial or a prosecution. Lied implies more -- intent to mislead in the service of another more devious aim. That's too much to load into a statement of "just the facts, ma'am."
