Topic	C/D: Lawyers who KNOWINGLY defend guilty clients should be punished too.
_Near_ 12/13/18 7:36:42 PM #35:	There is no "100% guilty. There's a litany of different charges that people can be indicted with and various defenses to all of them. Furthermore, there's a process that law enforcement must abide by to successfully apprehend a suspect in order to not violate their rights. The defense attorney assesses all of these. A defense lawyer's job isn't to judge guilt or innocence, that's the job of the jury. A defense lawyer is there to make sure that their client gets the best representation, whether they have done something wrong or not. And just because they do something wrong, it doesn't mean that they are guilty of the crime that they are being charged with. A defense lawyer makes this distinction. Sending someone to prison or death row is a very harsh punishment and thus, it would be unfair to have the full weight of the government come down on the individual without someone there to make sure that the prosecution meets their burden of proof. A defense lawyer ensures this. --- https://imgur.com/WyFIJkF This is America, where a lying, cheating degenerate can prosper. <cite>_Near_ posted [p:914080659] in C/D: Lawye...
