I've also been told lots of lies, some ridiculous and others that seemed plausible. Once you start thinking you know what you should and shouldn't believe then you are a menace to yourself and everyone around you. I have devolved into a permanent state of polite agnosticism.

It involved letters from his lawyer and orders from a judge and all kinds of delays. I just couldn't believe that the jail would take such risks with someone's health just to be petty, especially since they had no way to deny that they were aware of the person's diagnosis. But it was all true. I've also had guys tell me stories about turning themselves in for offenses that had not been detected that I thought were really self-serving and couldn't possibly be true that actually turned out to be totally true.

    As a nurse, this hits home. We take care of people we think very highly of (and that society admires), and those on the other end of that spectrum. It is not our job to judge our patients or rank them in some heirarchy of value, who is more worthy or less worthy of our care. Our job is to take care of everyone... to take care of everyone the same... in the way we would want our family taken care of, the way we would want to be cared for ourselves.

Its complicated and not everyone would give simple awnser and some need guiding. Just think of him as not guilty and just another man. Even how bad it is he needs a good defence and if its really that bad the defence wont help in getting him free but can reduse sentence. This is what the guy needs and thats your job whomever he might be. You could know what he did wrong but you should take every other account you can. Who he is and whats he like. Try setup a good defence even if you know its will not win it might get the sentence redused. This is the moral way. Becouse if you dont your breaching your morals by not giving him a good defence. He will get whats deserved whatever that is. If you dont want to breach your morals then just dont lie.

    Best thing i was ever told was. "If a guilty man goes free that's a failure on the prosecution. If an innocent man losses their freedom that's a failure on the defense." Edit people seem to be missing the point. In no situation should you feel responsible if you defend an guilty man and he goes free because of it. However you hold the blame if you don't properly protect an innocent man from prison or death.

    The best answer to this I’ve also heard is: “It’s not necessarily about trying to get the person off the hook when you know that they’re guilty, it’s making sure that the prosecutor has done everything necessary to prove without reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of the crime they are being accused of. Otherwise how long is it before any of us are accused of something that we didn’t do, and since defence doesn’t matter, we’re wrongly convicted? The job isn’t about preventing people that do wrong from being punished, it’s about keeping the court rooms accountable and ensuring they provide all necessary evidence and come to the correct verdict.”

    This video is suddenly recommended to me, and it made me recall an old memory from when I was 10. As a school event, we 5-graders went to a place where kids can experience different jobs. Back then I’ve always aspired to be a lawyer, so I tried it out. They set several kids up in a small courtroom, roughly explain what we have to do and then have an adult be the judge. When they read the case, turns out I have to defend a thief that has been caught redhanded. They even provide me with the specific law section associated with this case. My impression of a lawyer just consists of “find clue” and “defend innocents” so I cannot speak anything and just stood there and let my client got the “normal” charge according to the law. After that incident I gave up on being a lawyer, because it reminds me of the powerless feeling I had while I sit at that small courtroom. I wish I could have seen this video back then.

    I’ve treated two patients in intensive care who were involved in the same car accident. One guy was running from the cops with guns and drugs. He crashed into a mother of two and broke every limb on her body, likely putting her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. The suspect was everything but compliant during treatment and for whatever reason, I was emphatic about doing the job that I was trained to do regardless of the situation. That’s what being a professional means. You are there to provide services even if the person receiving them does not deserve it. That’s what makes us great at what we do.

    Imagine a world where lawyers just universally refused to defend someone who seemed guilty. Imagine being innocent but looking guilty and knowing you’re going to prison because nobody will bother to defend you. In this hypothetical world, we wouldn’t be sentenced based on a unanimous decision by 12 unbiased people but rather by the whim of your lawyer and whether or not they “think” you’re guilty.

    Sure, but what happens in outlier cases? Where their is a boatload of circumstancial evidence and literally no one else fits the profile and the defendant keeps mocking the prosecution that they can get fucked cuz they aint gonna find anything hard on them so the defendant cant even be brought to trial. So basically the person is guilty and defense lawyer knows it too. Defendant gets to walk away even though everybody and their mother knows he was guilty. I'm assuming that IRL there are a lot of "perfect" crimes get done and all the Defense lawyer have to do is "My client says nothing and denies everything" to get that not guilty.

    Something i have realised too is that if youre defending someone who you think is guilty, 9 times out of 10, the rest of the court will also see him as guilty. If youre on a weak case that you will probably loose, then the least you can do is defend the case as well as possible in search for the truth. If your client is guilty, then it will most likely show from the case anyways

    @Lina even if you believe they are guilty. You must have faith in the legal system. If everyone guilty or innocent is prosecuted by the prosecution and defended by the defence it’s a fair system. In a fair system the jury should be able to decide if that person can be proved guilty or innocent. If you defend someone who you think is guilty and they are not convicted then the prosecution needed to do a better job, not that the defence was too strong. If the prosecution can’t prove that person guilty then one must ask why we believe they are guilty? Sometimes, the burden of proof is too high to be met with limited evidence. But that is for good reason. If it were the other way around, innocent people would be convicted because they didn’t have enough evidence to prove themselves innocent. Definitely not a perfec system. And people who are guilty sometimes get away with their crimes. But that is because the justice system is designed to protect innocent people. That means everyone gets a barrister who will defend them.

    I dated a girl back in the day who was a lawyer and asked her how she can defend someone who she knows is guilty. She told me basically that you have to look at the bigger picture and that America’s justice system is built on rights to a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty. If you go against that on a larger scale (as in, everyone who is guilty isn’t given the right to a fair trial), then the system would be broken, flawed, and in fact more innocent people would be thrown into jail due to our assumptions of who is guilty or not. She said the same thing you said that it’s best to give this man his rights and to fight for his freedom because only he knows the absolute truth. Your job is to represent that.

    And even if the person is actually guilty, they must have a defense no matter what. Lets say a man killed another person and that's a fact that everybody already knows in trial. His sentence length will be determined by a number of other factors that goes beyond the simple fact that he killed someone. It was an accident or not? If not, it was self defense or not? Again, if not, there was passion and/or other emotions involved or not? All this questions have answers that will determine the appropriate sentence and, for that to happen, the killer needs someone to defend him. And I can go further. Even if we knew that the guy was a cold blooded killer, he needs the RIGHT for a defense. Someone could ask "Why?". Because if he doesnt, where do we draw the line exactly? Where exactly do we say "this person cannot have a defense"? It is not possible to draw this line precise enough so that wouldn't happen misjudgments. That said, EVERYONE needs a defense, not matter what they've done. And if everyone needs a defense, there must be someone to defend even the most brutal murders out there. And this someone is only doing their job, acting in its role in the criminal process. Lawyers shouldnt be judged by that. Sorry for the broken english, not a native speaker.

Ex: You're defending a guy accused of murder. The prosecution has dubious evidence and there are holes in the stories of witnesses, etc. But then, the guy admits to you that he did it. You'd still have to defend him. And if you were to tell anyone of what he admitted to you, it would be an illegal breach of confidentiality and it would be inadmissible. Though if the lawyer knowingly allows false evidence/testimony, then that's illegal.

    Not sure I understand exactly what your getting at. It seems like your suggesting that a defense attorney’s job is, in part, to make sure the punishment fits the crime. You have to assume some level of guilt if you are to determine that the punishment fits the crime. As part of the system you might hope that it all amounts to a system where the “punishment fits the crime” but that is not the directive of a defense attorney.any more than it's a jockeys job to make sure that the best horse wins the race. The jockeys job is to try and make the horse they are riding win and a defense attorney’s job is much the same except the levels of control they have over winning are much different to a jockey. In terms of not assuming your clients guilt it, I might try to stretch that jockey analogy and say that you don't always know if your horse can win or not even if the odds are against them, sometimes an outsider wins the race but if you ride it like a loser then you almost ensure that it will lose.

    Unless the defendant has money in which case a lawyer will defend them regardless of how heinous the crime. Knowingly taking the side of a dangerous criminal because they are paying you to keep them out of jail is lowly and pathetic. But yeah, keep idolizing our perfect “checks and balances system”

    @M-qw9ru biological sex is much more complex than just 'male and female', its a rather facinating topic that I'd definitely suggest you look into. Though, I doubt you'll do that, as you don't care about biology or the fascinating world of genes, chromosomes and our brains, you only care to punch down on those you see as below you.

    I love your reasoning, sir, and I will share it with my classes along with what I always tell them. Even if a defense attorney is certain that his/her client is guilty it is much better to make the best case of defense for your client, forcing the prosecution to do their best. An airtight win by the prosecution when you have done your very best to defend someone’s innocence means less chance that the now guilty client will go free in appeals.

    To add to this, the prosecution must put up the most airtight case possible so they can ensure they are doing their part to see the jury only convict when they have no reasonable doubt of the accused’s guilt. It MUST be proven. Accurately. Without bias. With precision. With extreme adherence to the law. Nothing less. Then, and only then, can they rest easier knowing that someone’s innocence was removed. Innocence is precious and a right. Until PROVEN guilty. When a great prosecutor and a great defense attorney and a great judge and a great jury do their jobs, the system works!

    Exactly correct sir! It doesn't matter who someone is, what they've done, or whether they're lying to you or not. Everyone deserves their day in court if they so choose, and with that they deserve a proper defense. Imagine if a physician let you die because he thought you were a bad person. That would be wholly unacceptable. Lawyers provide an important public service.

    @@letsreadtextbook1687 If he's a repeat offender, and had a history of being there with items missing then you want a good number of witnesses, the more that can confirm your view point the stronger your prosecution (or defense vice versa) You don't get a sentence like that unless there is substantial evidence that he was a repeating stealing at the store. But if you are going to apprehend someone for a crime you need witnesses to avoid the 'He planted it on me' They probably passed details immediately to police if he got out unchallenged (or forced his way out). Dominic gave the case in a summary as the point he was making that while handling a case which was pretty much clear cut, he still had to remain impartial.
