Answer 1:

No, if you lie in court you will almost always be caught. It's called perjury, and Judges are well trained and experienced in detecting it. There are more cynical answers, but in the main, our judicial system works quite well.

Answer 2:

Yes, people can and do get away with lying in court on a daily basis. If there is no admissible evidence to refute the testimony or contradict it then it stands as is. Perjury is overlooked today to a great extent. Former President Clinton's case is a good example of this current societal trend. Unfortunately criminals and some police are some of the best liars.
