Hi Virgil! You are missing the point, the constitution allows a guilty person counsel. The counsel might advise a guilty plea, or if the government has a weak case he/she may try to win it. Being acquitted doesn't mean the guilty party hasn't been punished. The legal fees are enormous, for one thing, and the victim may also sue and often wins. Being acquitted just means the defendant doesn't go to prison. If the case is so weak that the government can't prove it he/she should not go to prison. > > > I understand.
