Johannes bought Shuri and her services. So he probably paid a "dowry" towards her parents bc even if she was poor, she was still a noble. And technically she belonged to her parents. Shuri would never had that freedom had her family not agreed, and in this case, I bet it was because they were paid off to relinquish custody. I mean, they were poor and had terrible spending habits, of course they'd lick their fingers at the chance to get rid of another mouth to feed while racking in the dough
And its easy to buy her mother. So what's telling a lie in a trial? Her mother is a scapegoat for the church. If the church loses the trial, then they can claim her mother lied on stand, before God and can execute her and then it wouldn't be the church's fault. And if the church wins, well they won't need to worry about that then
