What does a criminal defense lawyer do?
The duties of criminal defense lawyers can be described in two aspects:
1. Defend the suspects and defendants from the entity.
That is, according to facts and laws, put forward materials and opinions to prove that criminal suspects and defendants are innocent, given a lighter punishment or exempted from criminal responsibility, refute incorrect accusations against criminal suspects and defendants, and help judicial organs fully understand the case, correctly apply the law, and handle cases fairly according to law.
This is the primary task of the defender.
2. Defend the criminal suspect and defendant from the procedure.
Help criminal suspects and defendants to correctly exercise their litigation rights in accordance with the law, and when they find that their litigation rights have been violated or deprived, put forward opinions to the public security and judicial organs, demand that they be stopped according to law, or lodge complaints with relevant units.
In a word, the purpose of criminal suspects and defendants to hire lawyers is to help themselves, not to hire lawyers to hurt themselves.
Otherwise, people are not stupid, but they can also pay people to harm themselves.

Is the defendant a bad person?
According to the regulations, even if there is a criminal suspect, as long as he is not finally convicted by the court, the suspect is still innocent, or at least may continue to be innocent.
Only when he is sentenced and convicted by the court, and the judgment has taken full effect, is he truly guilty.
There are many unjust, false and wrong cases in ancient and modern China and abroad. At the beginning of these unjust, false and wrong cases, the investigators firmly believed that the criminals were arrested, which is true.
And the result?
As a result, this person is innocent and the murderer is another person. Even in some cases, the identity of the deceased identified by the case handlers is wrong. They thought A killed his wife B, so they sentenced A to life imprisonment.
However, please note that there is a turning point here.
A few years later, my wife B came back alive and kicking.
Everyone was dumbfounded, except A. He was almost locked up and mad-he didn't do anything wrong, so who wouldn't be crazy?
Not guilty? For sure.
It is said that someone killed someone, but the so-called victim did not die. How can there be a crime of intentional homicide?
Can only be acquitted. This is not a fabrication, but a genuine product.
Don't believe it? She Xianglin killed his wife and searched online.
Now, can you swear that the defendants are all bad people?

Can lawyers defend "bad guys"?
Since lawyers should protect the legitimate rights and interests of defendants and fight for their innocence and light crimes, and the so-called "bad guys" are not necessarily bad guys, it is logical for lawyers to defend defendants.
It is precisely unqualified lawyers who charge lawyers fees, fail to perform their duties, and even act as second prosecutors, turning their guns and attacking clients.
It seems to be against the law, professional ethics and, of course, a person's conscience to hand over the evidence obtained from the parties for personal gain or because some people can't resist the intimidation and inducement of other criminal suspects.
Of course, if there is no professional ethics and no so-called conscience at all, it is out of the scope of discussion.
In short, lawyers should not only defend the so-called "bad guys", but also keep secrets for them.
Because if you don't allow lawyers to defend the so-called "bad guys", then one day, once you are wronged, there will be no lawyers to defend you.
Even if the case is really wrong, it will eventually pay the price for not letting lawyers defend the so-called "bad guys".
