Yes, some people who feel strongly and passionately about something and feel as though they are fighting a greater cause will sacrifice themselves to commit perjury. That applies to both the prosecution and the defense. That is why certain laws and legal procedures exist.

That's why any defense attorney worth his salt will offer up a strong cross examination which will leave the jury wondering who is being truthful here. Certainly no one is going to convict based on the word of a teenage girl whose boyfriend was shot shortly after he hung up the phone with her.
It won't be her word against Zimmerman's because as I mentioned, I would be shocked if Zimmerman testifies.
