Yes, thank you!:blowkiss:
It is not as if defense attorneys are pro-crime or in favor of evil.
I have been told by several, that they do it to protect that 1 out of a 100 or so, who is innocent.
The system with its Constitutional safeguards is really fashioned to protect the innocent. An unfortunate biproduct of that, is that the guilty reap the same protections and can sometimes hide behind them.
There is a big difference in the end, between the words:
"Not Guilty" and "Innocent."

Exactly. The criminal justice system is about social resolution of a conflict; not necessarily about the truth. A case can end with a guilty verdict because the jury found evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet, if we had a time machine, we might find that the person was, in fact, innocent. Conversely, a case can end with a jury finding of acquittal. Yet, a trip in a time machine might show the defendant was "guilty as sin." Both cases are concluded (pending appeals or retrial), but the truth eluded the resolution of that particular case. Our laws are heavily weighted in favor of defendants because our society favors living with the guilty, if there is a mistake, rather than convicting the innocent. Defense attorneys are an important part of the processing of justice and are not personally responsible for the outcome. :waitasec:
