Steven Schwartz not only obviously lied re: "I was unaware of the possibility that ChatGPT could generate false information", his own screenshots prove it. He asked if one of the cases generated was fake!
I suspect that during the research his System 1 (fast, intuitive thinking) told him he was not responsible for the risk he knew he was incurring by relaying AI generated text. It was more like ChatGPT was his own legal secretary which he was within his rights to trust, just like the main lawyer in the case, LoDuca, trusted him to produce this research.
The proceedings would have been more interesting if Schwartz had been honest about this, rather than going with the easily discoverable lie.
On the other hand, it's always funny when people realize they've got themselves into deep shit and they decide the best way out is to essentially plead insanity.
