Funnily enough, the Phoenix Wright series of games for the Nintendo DS, despite featuring an utterly ridiculous legal system, has this as a fairly central element. The basis of gameplay is cross-examining witnesses... and nearly every single one of them is either lying or misremembering things. I seem to recall at least one time where you were defending someone who had already confessed, for that matter.
The lying's not uncommon in TV dramas, but the unreliability of eyewitnesses accounts certainly is.
