    I do not think they technically lied. People who believe into conspiracy theories usually require negative amount of evidence (I.e., they believe it despite of the evidence to the contrary). But this amount of evidence does not work for the courts. They are just nuts (yes, that’s a technical term).

      They claimed they had evidence. Even if it was bad ‘evidence’, they should have been able to produce it. I mean, you talk with a flat earther or a faked moon landing person or a vaccine is gonna kill you person, they’re gonna have all kinds of bullshit evidence to try to convince you. These guys couldn’t even come up with that.

        Lawyers can’t knowingly present lies or falsehoods in court. Due to that single constraint, these idiots can’t present anything because all they have are falsehoods and they know it.
