What are they supposed to do?
Everyone is legally entitled to a defense, and if a lawyer takes a case he’s ethically and professionally bound to do the best he can for the client.
You can say that you don’t think a lawyer should accept a particular case, but that’s a whole other can of problems.
“Everyone is legally entitled to a defense, and if a lawyer takes a case he’s ethically and professionally bound to do the best he can for the client.”
That was the idealism of yesterday. Despite being hard to accept, justice in the US is now arbitrary and corrupt.
I AGREE but what I disagree with is the news coverage of what these lawyers say! It is treated as if there is truth in it and my statement is that these lawyers have the RIGHT to push their case to the limits of legal ethics! What I want is for this facet to be known, that defense lawyers have no obligation for the truth!
