Eh, I can see where the TC is coming from.

In the case of a lawyer knowing that his client is guilty, is a fair trial and judicial process really mutually exclusive with a situation where the evidence of their guilt comes from the defender's lawyer, given the proof is otherwise sufficient?

If an officer were to find and submit a recorded confession absent of duress by the accused, that'd generally be enough to convict.
Why is it that if the accused admits to the lawyer he did it and is recording saying as much, submitting that recording somehow makes it any less of a fair situation with proper due process?
