In fact, lawyers will choose the type of defense according to the facts when defending prisoners on death row. If the evidence of the condemned prisoner is conclusive and the crime is a fact, then even if the lawyer defends him, he will only choose the lightest defense for the prisoner, that is, the guilty defense that people who don't understand the law say. Only when the condemned man has not committed a crime will he choose to plead not guilty.
In fact, it is the duty of lawyers to defend the condemned prisoners. Every different profession has its own duty, and it is its duty to help the parties defend themselves. He had no choice but to refuse. Especially some prisoners on death row are generally lawyers who arrange legal aid. Lawyers need to defend each other even if they know that they are guilty. Of course, the lightest defense is generally like this.
Secondly, it is impossible to confirm that this person must be a criminal before the case is pronounced, as we often see in Hong Kong dramas? The suspect belongs to the defendant? It is said that only in the process of reviewing this case can we constantly find doubts from the evidence, and it is not necessarily that criminals must have conclusive evidence. In the process of defending condemned criminals, lawyers are actually a process of listing doubts and evidence, which can avoid unjust, false and wrong cases.
In addition, if the defendant is not sentenced in the end, everyone actually has equal human rights. It is against the spirit of law to directly convict a condemned man without trial. Therefore, the court is a fair place to provide protection for both the defendant and the plaintiff.
At the same time, many people don't really understand the law. In this way, the public can really understand the work of lawyers, have a deeper understanding of the law, and at the same time play a role in promoting the rule of law. The profession of lawyer is often misunderstood and needs to be solved by everyone.
