Witnesses come and say that they saw a murder on the east side of the palace, but then 2 other witnesses come and say that the 1st pair of witnesses were with us on the west side of the palace.

You can combine money, but you can't combine lashes.
How do you make witnesses false?
You argue the false witnesses weren't there in the first place, rather than arguing the actual facts of the case.
Witnesses come and testify that they saw a murder on Sunday morning in Sura. Then, another pair of witnesses say that the 1st pair of witnesses were with us in Nehardea on Sunday evening! So then, we go and see if you could take a camel from Sura to Nehardea in a day. If you can, they are not false, if not, they are false.
