Not saying anything is right/wrong, but there is a lot more to the witness testimony issues than them having been 'drunk'

This is gold medal mental gymnastics.
They admitted on the stand, under oath, to lying in police statements and lying under oath at the preliminary hearing. Not to mention the stories changing, or the admission that they were drunk
It has nothing to do with their cultural beliefs.
