Were the witness in question "full of shit", as you put it, the defence would have succeeded in having the statement quashed from the evidence file - presumably by bringing evidence of witness unreliability. The fact that they did not, despite being fully aware of this statement, and sought to discount it on grounds of irrelevance rather than malicious falsehood would suggest there is perhaps - and I stress, perhaps - more to this claim than you are caring to permit. I can't comment further than that because I haven't heard the recording, but the judge would have struck it from the disclosure list were it as you allege. I intend to leave it to the court to decide on this and other matters relating to the trial.
