Everyone is innocent in some way or another, at least that should be your attitude if you want to be a criminal defense attorney. Everyone can blame something else for the crime they committed. For instance, people who shoot up a school or something and then blame video games. Is that the right thing to do? Not at all, and in my opinion you should take responsibility, but if you are a criminal attorney you need to be ready to defend those people and come up with those, sometimes ridiculous, reasons as to why your client shouldn’t be held responsible. Personally, I know I could never do it.
