The fact that the criminal suspect's transcript in the public security organ is inconsistent with the trial does not mean that it was done by a lawyer. There must be facts and evidence, and the so-called suspicion must also be supported by evidence. Defending the murderer by a lawyer does not mean defending the crime of murder, nor does it mean excusing murder.
