If u know that someone shot and killed someone would you hire a lawyer for that person?

Question

l know someone that killed someone and his parents are getting him a lawyer does this make sense, he has already confessed to killing this person....what can a lawyer do for him...

Answer 1

A lawyer can try to get a deal with the prosecutor, or plea an insanity plea. It is a lot a lawyer can do for your friend. He can try and get the confession thrown out.

Answer 2

An attorney, in this case, could still keep the individual from being found guilty in trial. (It depends on whether the confession was properly collected.) Also, an attorney can insure that this individual is afforded due process of law, and gets treated fairly. The attorney may also be able to plea bargain more effectively than the individual himself.

Answer 3

NOPE... Let them fall with the public defender they would be appointed.

Answer 4

A lawyer can prevent him from getting the death penalty.

Answer 5

they can find out what happened and why there's always more goes on than meets the eye and I would help my child no matter what unconditional love I think its called and lawyers can reduce sentence etc
