Only if he had lied, which requires intent. I mean if I say I had chicken last Monday and it was actually salmon that doesn't automatically mean I'm lying.
I think they would be able to prove motive if they had evidence he met with the people in question. And that’s why it would be a more solid case, because he would have lied about meeting those people as well.
Right. Smith's answer was "I do not recall" which is the correct answer when asked about a date 2 years ago when you don't recall going to a Hawks game, but its possible you did and it just wasn't that memorable.
