Just look at any police procedural or even real life cases when it comes to witness or suspect interviewing. Everybody lies or tells their own version of the truth for various reasons; to protect themeselves, protect a secret, or protect others; or to knowingly or unknowingly give false information. It is up to the police to wade through numerous sources of information to determine fact or fiction. The volume of evidence exonerating Andrew outweighed Aria's testimony, testimony that could be quickly refuted by interviewing the other girls. And there is little point in arresting Aria for lying or obstructing justice; it does not propel the investigation forward, it is a waste of resources to proceed with a criminal proceeding(imagine if everyone who lied to police were arrested and charged), not to mention the media and political fallout of prosecuting a teenage victim of unspeakable torture at the hands of a madman.
