When faced with that information I cant believe that this type of thing even hits the court room. Do they not counsel their client to make a logical choice in their plea?
I understand there is a need for fair trial and representation but cant comprehend how these type of cases can still go through. But I understand that is only my opinion.

As it has been said 100 times before, the job of the defence lawyer in many of these cases isn't to prove the guy didn't do the crime. Their job is to make sure that the justice system is unbiased and to make sure the prosecution provides all evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is guilty...they are not defending the actual person per se but the judicial process.
