Witnesses must not lie but to a large degree lawyers may and should.

I thought lying like that was a "contempt of court" kind of thing.

As an example, "My client Phil Spector did not shoot Ms Clarkson" is a lawyer defending his client, regardless of the fact that its a lie.

Lawyers are allowed to present their "story" of how the evidence fits together according to them. They're even allowed to present stories which look ridiculous on their face in the process.

Not disclosing the evidence you intend to present before the trial, that's a "contempt of court" thing.
