point of disaumbiguation

ambiguous or not? that is the question.

– The defendant examined by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.
– The evidence examined by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.

first sentence should be more ambiguous, taking meaning into account.
but during initial syntactic parsing, or not?

i.e.
– (The defendant examined) by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.
vs.
– The evidence (examined by the lawyer) turned out to be unreliable.
