What's the use of asking a lawyer to defend the murderer? If you kill someone, you will be sentenced to death without a lawyer, then why should you hire a lawyer?

Everyone has the right to defend himself, and murderers are no exception. There is a difference between hiring a lawyer and not hiring a lawyer. As a professional discipline, legal history is not understood by everyone, and people who have not studied systematically do not know how to use it even if they have opinions. For example, homicide can be distinguished from intentional, negligent, self-defense, emergency avoidance, misunderstanding, repentance and surrender. A good lawyer can divide the death penalty into life imprisonment, fixed-term imprisonment or even innocence, and those who have not studied law do not understand.
