If you are caught lying in court you could face a criminal charge called perjury. However, what would more likely happen is you will cast doubt on your credibility and will loose your case. If your lie is a blatant lie and is not an obvious mistake, it will be hard for a court to rule in your favor. A court room is where the truth must come out no matter if you did wrong or not- you must tell the truth. If you cannot bring yourself to tell the truth in court, you might want to consider alternatives other than a trial like dropping the case or accepting a plea deal.
