A successful defense of someone who is guilty? One can adhere to “ethics” while getting the lowlife off the hook? The Sixth Amendment makes no allowance for that, oh no.

There are countless ways to ethically represent some one who is guilty. The prosecution has the burden of proving the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and there are many ethical ways to persuade a jury to have a reasonable doubt, from moving to suppress illegally-seized evidence, to cross-examining the eyewitness to ask if they were wearing their glasses at the time of the incident.

Moral relativism here means the end of a society. Don’t ever think otherwise.
