Your assertion is legally incorrect. The jury will be instructed to take into account testimony of the witnesses. Attorneys are not witnesses, and what they say or do may not properly be considered.

Well, God Bless America! Attorneys are allowed to lie to the jury without adverse repercussion on their clients (whom they ARE supposedly acting on behalf of and under their direction).

Attorneys do have to answer for direct lies to the jury. What are the consequences if they get caught? IE:if they know the client is guilty and tell the jury he's innocent..

It was my understanding that an atty could not knowingly allow any witness to lie ?

Welcome to the real world. You only take an oath when you give testimony or an affadavit.

Yes, that's right, the jury is only allowed to consider the EVIDENCE, and what the attorneys do in putting on the case is not EVIDENCE. Clients don't control how the attorney presents his case, and it would not be proper for a client to attempt to do so.
