I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.

It is better that ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer.

Our constitutionally-based criminal justice system places a high value on protecting the innocent. Among its central tenets is the idea that it is better to let a guilty person go free than to convict someone without evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

One of the most fundamental questions people have about defense attorneys is, 'How can you do that? How can you go to bat everyday for a person that you may not know is guilty but you have a pretty good idea that he's not so innocent?' It's a question that defense attorneys answer for themselves by not addressing.

When a person is found less guilty than he is suspected, he is concluded more innocent than he really is.

Maimonides taught that it is better that 10 criminals go free than let one innocent man be executed. The Innocence Project represents that point of view.

I come from the liberal side of thinking: Better one guilty man should walk free than one innocent man found guilty.

Whenever you manage more than 100 attorneys, there's always going to be attorneys who believe that someone isn't as good as they are.

It is better that a guilty man should not be brought to trial than that he should be acquitted.

When a person is found not guilty, they're found not guilty.
