I had a conversation with a lawyer friend of mine a while back. He would have an idea about the clients guilt or innocence after an initial consultation, but wouldnt necessarily ask them exactly if they did or didnt do it. Each case is unique that way. Rather, after the prosecution would disclose their evidence pre trial, and the client wanted to go to trial, they would work to either discredit the evidence, offer up alternative narratives to the prosecutions story as well as provide their own evidence to counter what the prosecution presents. Some nuance to it for sure. A lot of advice to clients about different scenarios, how things could end up based on what may or may not happen.
