What lawyers do is to let clients get a fair judgment of the law and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. Clients hire lawyers because they don't know the law and how to protect their rights and interests. Lawyers are professionals who can strive for the best interests of their clients within the legal framework. In this sense, no matter who a lawyer defends, even if he defends the murderer, it also represents justice.
The case of Rong Zhi Sr has aroused widespread concern. Many people abused old Rong Zhi's lawyer and accused him of defending the bad guys and taking advantage of the law. However, the lawyer defended Rong Zhi Sr. only to make Rong Zhi Sr. get a fair judgment. If old Rong Zhi is really guilty, then use sufficient and reliable evidence and relevant laws and regulations to give old Rong Zhi a fair trial by law. This is the real justice. Lawyers defend clients, even criminals, and strive for a fair judgment for criminals.
