ORIGINAL: tazzygirl lol.. apparently so I was speaking more about the actions of the lawyer. Isnt it his job to provide the best defense possible? Yet here he is, stating that a possible defense isnt "plausible"? Is a defense lawyer not bound to tell the truth, or are defense lawyers allowed to lie? If the defense lawyer for Kid#2 thinks the "story" given by Kid#1 (it looks like he's not the lawyer for Kid#1) isn't plausible, wouldn't it not be a possible defense? No, they arent bound to tell the truth. Ever see one take an oath? The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct states that a lawyer “shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact.” - The question should be asked... are lawyers required to know what the truth is? Again, the answer is no. So, a defense is put forward, a defense lawyer doesn't think it's plausible, he/she can't say so? If it's implausible, how could it be part of the best defense possible?
