Justice today isn’t about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth anymore. This outdated code of law brought nothing but violence into the world. We are living in a modern world where everyone deserves proper justice, even the criminals themselves. Yes, even those who are found guilty of their crime deserve justified punishments, not to mention the innocent people who are wrongly accused. The people who are wrongly accused have the right to defend themselves in court. That’s why criminal defense law is important because it protects people and balances the power within the justice system.
When you are accused of a crime, you need a proper trial. It’s your right to hire a lawyer to help you with your case. Their duty is to help you get a fair trial.
If you commit a crime, your lawyer or counselor will help you receive a reasonable punishment and proper solution for your crime, for instance, if you put someone to a COMA to defend yourself from being harmed or killed your lawyer will help you prove to the judge and -- in some countries -- the jury that your action was just a reaction and not premeditated.
But in the case that you are accused of theft. Your lawyer will point out the evidence to the judge and/or the jury to see that you are innocent so you wouldn’t be punished.
