The Green Mile (1999)

Corrected entry: When Percy sabotages Del's execution, he claims he didn't know the sponge was supposed to be wet, and everyone believes him. But everyone also saw him put the sponge in the bucket. If he didn't know he was supposed to wet the sponge, why would he put the sponge in a bucket of water? The answer is because he wanted to deceive everyone, but nobody picks up on that.

Correction: They didn't accept his explanation so much as they just gave up on trying to get through to him. They weren't fooled, only exasperated to the point of indifference.

Phixius

Correction: Actually the guy punches him right in the face for lying and then they both cover for him, just so he will finally transfer out of the green mile like they wanted and were trying to get him to do during the whole movie.
