Do lawyers really have a role to play in criminal cases?

Let's talk about it with everyone, today I am talking about a little feeling that I have been a lawyer for so many years, the first is why I do criminal cases, the earliest when I was in college, when I first came into contact with criminal law courses, I had nightmares at night, this really did not lie to everyone, at that time I dreamed of killing, burning and looting, it was quite terrifying, I thought to myself that I would definitely not be able to do this kind of case in the future.

But now I have been practicing law for more than ten years, and I have also done a lot of criminal cases.

First of all, in some cases that I can't accept psychologically, then I don't do it, that is to say, I think he has strong subjective malice, I don't want to accept this, in fact, most of the time, I do some economic crimes, so in fact, in the types of these cases, it is not so black and white, so what about our client, it may be because he does not know, or even when he is blinded, he may also be forced by life. In short, the reasons for this, then he lies in the line between sin and non-sin, which is not so obvious. In fact, this society is not so absolute black and white, what do you think?

The second feeling, the lawyer, is not so useless as everyone thinks, but it is not as powerful as everyone thinks, we can't say black to white, and a guilty person must be turned innocent, in fact, there is a sentence called based on facts, with the law as the criterion, this sentence actually really has its meaning, that is, we still can't change the facts, and the role of our lawyers is to try to help the parties restore the facts, restore the truth, Let our client get a more fair verdict, make sure that the punishment is commensurate with the crime, and don't let him get an excessively heavy punishment.

In fact, the purpose of the law, you say that it is to punish crimes, I think a greater purpose is to save, to save this person, so that after he is punished, there will be some adjustments, corrections, to prevent him from making other bigger mistakes in the future, and the most important purpose is actually to save this person.

These are my two little feelings, how I feel after doing a criminal case for so long, and you can also express your opinions in the comment area.
