More importantly, a lawyer should not ask the client if they did it. This may seem strange but not all cases are like a murder or a robbery. In many criminal cases the client may have done some bad act, but they are not charged with that one act, they are charged with maybe 6 things. Everyone deserves a lawyer and a good one. Much more bad has happened in the US because poor people were wrongly accused of crimes and had no lawyer than have occurred through zealous prosecution by great lawyers of the guilty.
Most criminals are poor and even when they have lawyers they are lousy.
Only rich white collar criminals and rich drug lords get great lawyers to get them off when they are guilty. For most people merely being charged means a plea bargain whether they did it or not. Net sm . All Rights Reserved. Net ChatBoard sm .
