Nothing pushes the lying defendant further under the bus then when the presiding judge states "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus!" ... "

False in one thing, false in everything
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus is a Latin maxim meaning "false in one thing, false in everything". At common law, it is the legal principle that a witness who testifies falsely about one matter is not credible to testify about any matter.


omnibus

NOUN
a volume containing several novels or other items previously published separately:
"an omnibus of her first trilogy"
dated
a bus:
"a horse-drawn omnibus"
Similar:
bus
minibus
van

ADJECTIVE
comprising several items:
"omnibus editions of novels"

***
To throw/ to push someone under the bus is an idiomatic expression in English. It means to criticize, blame, or punish a person, especially when they are in a vulnerable position, all in order to avoid blame or gain an advantage. Imagine a situation where someone betrays a colleague or friend by making them take the fall for something controversial or embarrassing. The phrase likely originated in British politics, where the metaphor of being “under a bus” was already used to describe misfortune or conveniently timed accidents1. So, when someone throws
another person under the bus, it’s definitely not a friendly act!
