As a defendant's lawyer, you need to only show that there was reasonable doubt. If you feel that this is not obtainable due to evidence that the Prosecuting team has entered, then you must plea bargain. If you can make it beneficial to the prosecutors to lower the sentence, then they should take it.

Aside from the first answer, all the rest is Poop!
If he's guilty, and you know it, refuse defense!

keep in mind:
it is not guilt or innocence that is important in a court room, it is the appearence of guilt or innocence.
