So since I lied about why I was late to class the other day--a minor lie--does that mean I should be suspected of lying when I say, "I don't know anything about the virus that's sweeping the university."? After all, I did tell a minor lie. So what's to stop me from lying about the virus?

This is not faulty logic. This "lie in one, lie in all" idea is something that is used everyday in the criminal justice and court system. That is why Jackson is going to have an uphill battle when it comes to his credibility at trial. This is why no defendant show give a statement or interview to the media when charges are filed against them. More often than not, it just gives ammunition to the prosecution.
