When under oath there are 4 possible outcomes:
1) You did nothing wrong and you tell the truth. That's called innocence, and for rich white guys it's usually enough to avoid any bad outcomes.
2) You did something wrong and you tell the truth. That's called a confession, and works best as part of a plea deal.
