[ QUOTE ]
Testilying is police slang for the practice of giving false testimony against a defendant in a criminal trial, typically for the purpose of "making a stronger case" against someone they believe to be guilty, although it may also be for the purpose of framing an innocent defendant.

There seems to be little doubt that the practice occurs, is not limited to any region of the country, and that "testilying" is a common name for it.
