What is it called when everyone says they did something?

For example a kid gets in trouble and admits it, but then a bunch of people say it too to cause confusion and so the kid doesn't get in trouble:

Kid: I did it.

Friend 1: No I did it.

Friend 2: I did!

Friend 3: No i did it!

Teacher: Then who did it?!

I think it's greek/roman related . . .

    I don't know that it has an official name, but you are probably thinking of Spartacus. In the 1960 movie, Spartacus' fellow slaves refuse to give him up to the authorities as their leader. Instead, one by one, each one stands up, declaring "I am Spartacus."
