How does attorney-client privilege work? And how is it not perjury to defend the innocence of someone who admitted their guilt to you?
In: 2
Why would the defense attorney ever give testimony? The client has 5th amendment right to not incriminate themselves, and the lawyer can’t be obligated to testify because of the attorney-client confidentiality . Who in any scenario has to perjury themselves to avoid confessing under oath? If there’s no evidence to criminal culpability there would never even be a trial.
