ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri 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? A defense lawyer is only bound to not lie in that if they know that a defense is false, they cannot present it. They have to know it for a fact. It's one of the reasons defense lawyers almost never ask a client if they're innocent or guilty. They don't want to know. A simple example would be: A lady that you know claims that you are the father of her child. You hire a lawyer and go and get a DNA test done. The test confirms that there is a 99.99999999997% probability that you are the father. Forgetting that her attorney could find out through recipricol discovery, your attorney is compelled NOT to argue that the child isn't yours. Conversely; the defense can put forth a theory that isn't absolutely untrue ie; each of these attornies can argue that the other defendants (not their particular client) were the actual murderer because nothing has been proven, yet. They're not violating the code of ethics. Regards, F. Lee Bailey
