I do not have issue with a lawyer trying to prove the innocence of their client. What I have issue is if that lawyer believes their client is guilty before the trial is even started and still proceeds to try to get that client off the hook even after believing that client is guilty.Its no different than a gun store who knowingly sells a gun to criminal or a car dealership who knowingly sells the car to someone who has no license and is uninsured or a pharmacist who knowingly fills out a bogus prescription.
What you are describing may be unethical and/or immoral, but it's not illegal... and the subject of the thread notwithstanding, a person should never be barred from holding office for engaging in legal activity. Office-holding based on ethical/immoral activity should be solely based on the voter's judgment.
