Be honest! I'm curious as to if anyone ever lied under oath in court and got away with it((never got caught))(whether the lie was small or big) especially victims.
If you're just gonna answer something like "you shouldn't lie under oath" then don't respond because this question is about has anyone ever lied under oath, not a question of whether you should or not. Which obviously you shouldn't.

Clearly people lie under oath on a daily basis. Anyone convicted of a crime, that took the stand in their own defense, has lied under oath.

Yes, I did fudge a few things while under oath. I had to testify on behalf of my mother to get her out of a mental health hospital. The judged asked if my mom had refused to see me while she was in there, she had, but I said she hadn't. I think he actually knew the truth but he let it go by. The point was I was swearing to look after her when she got out. They let her out that day.

If you are asking a 'general' question the answer is yes, they do it all the time. In criminal trials the guilty party always blames someone else, lies about his whereabouts, has 'witnesses' lie for him, etc. That's why you have judges, juries, and lawyers to get at the truth.

consider what a lie is...
any form of communication with the intent to deceive is one definition. That means you can state facts that are true to draw a wrong conclusion. Sounds just like what lawyers do, under oath or not.

Of course people have lied under oath. Quite often they get caught in their lies and then their credibility is completely shot.

extra effective confer with someone because you do not comprehend what is going on. The D is going to be ordered to haven't any contact with you. you aren't any further going to be ordered to do some thing. you aren't any further a social gathering to the case. you're purely a witness. The courtroom has no authority to reserve you to do some thing.

The question should be, "Has anyone ever told the truth in court." Lawyers do it everyday and so do their clients when they are told what to say. Judges do it, cops do it, prosecutors do it, defense lawyers do it, etc, etc.
