What you may fail to realize is that for the lawyer, it is nearly absolute malpractice to NOT try to use every possible defense in a murder-one case. The prisoner sitting in jail will have years to drag his lawyer through court on "ineffective counsel" motions -- while you and everyone else will only whine about it. Sorry, it's a no-brainer for one practicing the profession. You don't like it -- take it up with the legislature. I will back you all the way.
