One way to lie on the witness stand is to answer questions vaguely and refuse to provide specific details. You could also make statements that are partly true and leave out important details that would compromise your testimony. It's important to remain composed when lying, as angry or stressed-out behavior can be picked up on by the jurors. Additionally, you should keep good eye contact with the jury throughout your testimony - this will help establish trust and strengthen your lie.

You cannot lie on the witness stand, as this is a crime that can result in you being charged with perjury. You must testify truthfully or remain silent if you are asked a question that you do not want to answer.  Additionally, most trial examiners will be prepared for deceptive or misleading answers and may catch you in the lie, leading to an uneasy ending for the attempted deception.
