As a former defense attorney friend put it, he **never** asked if they did what they were accused of. His job was to present a defense, which he did as best he could. The prosecution has the duty to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, he presented the rationale for doubt and/or exoneration.

Also, he left the field. Not a fun gig apparently.
