What do you think of lawyers who defend clients who are perceived to be criminally liable?

criminal liability or culpability should be resolved beyoned reasonable doubt....mere perception of innocence or guilt of a person equals to doubt...hence innocence is presumed existing...thats what lawyers are protecting....the presumption that every person are presumed innocent until proven otherwise...not to mention the rights of the person accused is not removed until proven guilty....peace!

Personally would not be able to live with myself if I was a lawyer.But it is their job to defend,even if the person is guilty.

yeah..'coz even "guilty" clients have rights to be protected..plus,determination of guilt is really the judge/jury's job..
