How hard do you think it is to defend a criminal in the court of law?

Question

If your defendants(Criminals) lawer/attorny

Answer 1

Some criminals are innocant so its easy for some, but if their pure criminals, then its really dark for someone to defend against th em.

Answer 2

Try thinking of it this way:

If a person is guilty, it is relatively easy to make sure that person receives a fair trial, a fair sentence and that the person's rights were not violated.

If a person is innocent, on the other hand, the defense of that person is much more difficult; not only does the defense attorney have to make sure the the defendant's rights weren't violated, and that the defendant receives a fair trial, but the lawyer also has to do everything possible to prove that the defendant is not guilty. Defending an innocent person in a criminal matter is much more difficult.

Answer 3

I don't think it's any harder than being on the other side. Whatever side you are on you have to look at the facts and present them in a light most favorable to your clients. This includes interpreting the law and putting in the hours. Being a criminal defense attorney can be rewarding because the injustice that occurs when someone is wrongfully accused is often eggregious.

Answer 5

Depends where you are and who it is. If the criminal is a celebrity in Los Angeles, you are pretty much guaranteed to win (OJ, Robert Blake, Michael Jackson). It might be more difficult elsewhere.

Answer 6

not very...I don't think that defense attorney's have souls...well some of them...I mean we need them because some people really are innocent...

I am talking about the ones that will let a rapist go bc he has a lot of money. I think that they are sick and that they are going to rot in hell. Although...they probably are atheist and don't believe in hell...but I do...and that's where they are going!

Answer 7

If they want you, they will find away. Trust me...
