In cases where there is no question of guilt, I'd imagine a defense attorney would be more focused on keeping their client from getting the death penalty. Yup. Now, it's all about getting the defendant to repent and bring in mitigating factors (like mental instability) to avoid the death penalty. There's always the insanity defense, but that rarely works and risks getting harsher punishment than just admitting guilt. also, it's a very high profile case, so you can make a name for yourself. --- https://i.imgur.com/WyFIJkF.gif This is America, where a lying, cheating degenerate can prosper. <cite>_Near_ posted [p:896204560] in How do law...
