"Regardless of what one thinks of H! or lawyers in general, a lawyer is supposed to defend the client vigorously, no matter what the charges are........."
I was under the impression that "defend" in this context meant to ensure that your client received a fair trial and that his or her constitutional rights were not violated in the process. It seems that most defense attorneys nowadays define the word as meaning "getting my client off scot-free" regardless of the charges.
