Attorney client privilege.


A lawyer legally can't directly lie to a judge or jury. If his client tells him something and he has to ask about it, and he was told otherwise, he can't make something up.

When does he have to lie to the judge or jury? At the time of the trail, his attorney told what he thought to be the truth. He truly believed he was insane. That was part of Norton's act. If he learns something after the trial, the lawyer has no legal obligation to tell on his client; unless he has direct knowledge of a future felony.
