It’s “Qualified Immunity” for lawyers. Your literal job is to know not to do this, “Oops got caught don’t do this again” basically means zero consequences.

I look forward to everyone else going through this courtroom get benefits from the “your first time caught lying to this court is free” policy.

It wasn’t intentional so it’s not exactly lying

Bullshit. If it is your job to check these things and get it right, “Not looking into it” is just laundering responsibility for not checking, especially when caught and then doubling down.
