In his opinion, the lie must be based on intention. So, someone who tells a lie has the aim to cover up something or another. "The meaning of the word lie in the dictionary states something that is untrue or is a lie," said Frans in the trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, May 19. if someone says something that is not true in the context of speaking (there must be) an intention, there is a willingness to convey it, "continued Frans. Meanwhile, for the wrong context, continued Frans, there is no intention of lying. This is because someone who is mistaken does not know or intends to tell lies. "But if in a matter of conveying something that is not true without any intention because in a situation of not knowing, then it cannot be called lying. He is in the wrong category," said Frans.
