Friends of the Joker

Dzhohkar Tsarnaev's buddy Robel Phillipos' case of lying to the authorities has gone to the jury. Which brings up two questions for me, since I'm so confused.

1. Why is it against the law for us to lie to the cops, but not against the law for the cops to lie to us?

2. How can Robel Phillipos be convicted of anything when Joker Tsarnaev hasn't been convicted of doing anything wrong? So if Joker gets acquitted Robel can still be guilty of lying about somebody doing nothing wrong?

PS - Robel Phillipos may be the ugliest guy I've ever seen.

He admitted to concealing or destroying evidence.

Evidence of what though? Seems to me, unless and until Tsarnaev is convicted of a crime, it's evidence of nothing. How do you prosecute somebody for concealing or destroying evidence when it hasn't been established that it's evidence in the commission of a crime. At this point, seems to me he admitted to concealing or destroying some stuff. I destroy stuff all the time. They gonna prosecute me for destroying stuff?
