If you were practicing criminal law…

Would you prefer being in the position of prosecuting the accused, or defending them ?

Your objective as a lawyer should to uncover the truth by way of legal discussion under the court of law. Which side you are doesn't matter, if your intention is to examine everything to reach the truth.

I would not frame false acquisitions if I were a prosecutor, nor I will develop false evidences to protect a criminal.

@ABCDEF7 You'd never make it as Lawyer then

@MethDozer I am not, nor I intend to. There is difference in argument and discussion. I like to discuss.
@ABCDEF7 That’s the purest definition of advocacy, either for the state or the individual. And while nobody [b]admits[/b] to seeking false evidence to acquit or convict those accused, it is an unfortunate truth (in the U.S.) that the outcome has as much to do with the money spent on defense as it does the facts of the case.
The prosecution generally has unlimited resources.
