Everyone deserves the best defense possible. Not when the defendant is guilty and the attorney knows it.
A defense that could reduce the defendant's sentence? Fine. A defense that works to return a "not guilty" verdict? No.

"Not when the defendant is guilty and the attorney knows it."
I understand your moral objection, but under our law, even in this case, only the jury can determine the facts. I think the bar says that the attorney has to quit the case.
