I try to remember that under a working legal system it's the job of defense attorneys to defend the indefensible, but this is still infuriatingly dishonest.
'You reap what you sow'. They're acting like Lake fucked up and has no right to complain. Guess what? It wasn't Lake they disenfranchised, it was THE FUCKING VOTERS! And he dares to talk about respecting elections while arguing that we shouldn't be allowed to question them and it's okay to botch election day and fuck over thousands of voters? With this fake ass, manipulative display of 'passion'?
I feel like most attorney's don't know how to honestly defend guilty clients. If he's guilty, don't try to get him acquitted, get his sentence lessened or transferred to nicer prison. Don't waste all his money on a hopeless fight.
Unfortunately in this case, these ridiculous statements might still get more credit than they deserve.

They can encourage that but the defendant still runs the show. If a guilty client doesn't want to admit it the lawyer has to defend their 'innocence', even if it means scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Much of our legal system has become a clown show, but scumbag lawyers saying scumbag things is ironically a good thing. It's a sign of a system that values a fair trial, or at least pretends to. Just have to hope Lake's lawyers are good enough to knock it down and the judge is smart enough to see through it not a corrupt piece of shit
