Your legal analogy is a fail, because it is the equivalent of asking a lawyer to lie in court, by defending a client they know to be guilty, as if they are innocent, which they are not supposed to do.

Seems the responsibility of a lawyer to defend their client, matter of fact, that seems to be the entire point. The legal system as it exists today, just as it was under Hammurabi, is about getting just as much justice as you can afford.

The idea that a lawyer isn't supposed to defend a guilty man is just so counter to our concept of law in general as to be an insult to the court.

Nessie, that is a very special strain of naivety you have there...
