I agree with you. It is the prosecution that needs bring the case and the defense to use every legal means available to defend their client. If I’m ever in trouble with the law, I’m hiring the sleeziest lawyer I can find with the best win record. I might even hire Hillary or maybe Jonny Cochran (Is he still alive, by the way?).
Regarding laughter, sleezy lawyers also have big egos. It goes with the territory.
