Can a prosecutor or defense attorney use a witness if the witness has told more than one lie?
Whoever's side the witness is for can decide how to present the witness. It is not unheard of for prosecutor or defense attorneys to bring out the lie first, along with the reason(s) the person lied. However, the witness-confessional is usually extended only once; the person better fess up to everything right then. And even if the person puts everything out on the table, the judge or jury can still hold it against the person and choose not to believe the testimony, in part or in full.
