Maybe many people just stand from the moral point of view. They all think that the suspect and the defendant are guilty, so they should not defend him, and he should be punished as he deserves. However, our law stipulates that even those who commit the most heinous crimes have the right to defense. In the criminal procedure law, it is very important for the three organs to ensure that the litigation rights of defendants and criminal suspects are not infringed, that is to say, both defendants and criminal suspects have the right to defense, and their right to defense is legal.
On the other hand, as a lawyer's professional ethics and professionalism, I think this lawyer has done a very correct thing from the legal point of view. After accepting the entrustment of the client, the lawyer's greatest purpose, responsibility and mission is to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the client, while the defense lawyer in criminal cases is responsible for safeguarding the client and refuting the charges against the client. These are just the professional ethics and professionalism that a lawyer should have. A good lawyer should try his best to get a good defense for his client and his client. In one aspect of a case, entrusted lawyers try their best to protect their clients regardless of right and wrong. So I think that people are still irrational about the accusations and insults of netizens. Although the criminal suspect may be a heinous person, he still has the right to be defended, and even he himself has the right to legal defense.
