Answer 1

So first off its not up to the defence to prove innocence, its up to the prosecution to prove guilt.

At a certain point however, lets say they got the guy in pure 4k doing it and he went and bragged about doing it, its not about “Defending” but more “Making sure the prosecution is doing their job properly, crossing Ts, dotting I, and making sure the trial is fair”
