I think the word "lie" is too strong in this case. IF someone lied, it could have been:
a) the (boy) teen who told the girl, who told her mom
b) The girl who told her mom
c) JP
However, there may not be a LIE anywhere. It could be that:
a) the teen girl misunderstood what the teen boy said
b) the teen boy said what the girl heard, but has forgotten
c) JP misunderstood what the girl said
There is also the possibility that the teen boy said exactly what JP said he did, to the girl, but now the teen boy doesn't want to admit to saying it.
Or, possibly any other mix of the above,
But, to say that the lawyer is LYING because some information turns out to not be correct, is completely unfair. Not to mention derogatory.
As always, just my opinion.

According to Picerno, the mother of a teen girl said her daughter admitted that a male friend of hers was told by “Jersey” that he’d been hired to “get” Baby Lisa.
Picerno said he doesn’t yet have the name of the friend, who told this to the teen, who in turn told her mother.
Fox News reports Picerno did speak with the girl this week and says he believes her allegations.
Picerno said he still wants to interview the man who initially had the conversation with “Jersey” himself.

The news began a media frenzy that lasted Friday night through Saturday, ending with the family’s consultant “Wild” Bill Stanton fumbling with words, trying to turn things around by blaming media for putting the information out there.
“The legal team put this information out as a possible theory which got big headlines … without even talking to this kid?” Russ asked Stanton.
Stanton replied, “Well, most things, while they ‘might have’ they ‘may have’ … I’m not sure. But then again it’s the press that makes the headlines.”

Russ said the teen acknowledged he does know the handyman “Jersey” and said he hasn’t seen him since before Baby Lisa disappeared.
When asked about his statement that “Jersey” bragged about being paid $300 to steal Baby Lisa, the teen adamantly denied it.
Russ said there was never an admission of guilt. The teen reportedly said, “I told someone, I was like (expletive.) Jersey was the kind of person where you could say here’s $300, take care of this baby and he would have done it. That’s all I’ve said. I haven’t seen Jersey since weeks before all this happened actually.”

1. Why would the teen say this l if he hadn't seen Jersey since before the kidnapping - because, IMO, he didn't say it to the mother or the teenage girl, he said it to someone else who spun it into a story. Someone who asked, "do you
think Jersey would take a baby?"
2. How could the defense team not know his name? Why didn't they simply ask the teenage girl. In a matter of hours a reporter was able to find it - IMO, this is either pathetic investigative skills, or someone is lying.
3. I can't find it now, but I watched either Tacopina, Picerno, or Stanton say that the blob came out of the woods that
"backed up " to the Bradley/Irwin property. Either a lie or they are getting bad information.
IMO, it was a manufactured lie - derogatory or not, that's my take.
