It is the mark of a civilized society. In this case it seems stupid but having the right is a good thing 99% of the time.

It has to happen, even if the lawyer believes the client to be guilty he is still being paid to help. He has to do what he is being paid to do.

Because there are always going to be people who either

A) Believe the guy is really innocent

B) Just want/need the money

C) Believe that guilty or not, as representation is a right it is a patriotic duty to make sure that right is seen to

Now, as for specifically serial killers, given the large number of cases where they had the wrong guy several times (Sharon Tate Case, Bundy Killings, Pedro Alonso Lopez's killings etc) it seems like about a 30% chance by the time the guy gets to trial that he is innocent.
The problem is that there is a ton of pressure to solve that kind of crime, and it can lead to shit being rushed. Given that chance, wouldn't you want to be sure that the right guy is getting punished? In order to do that each side needs representation, otherwise we cannot be certain what the truth is (really even then, but its about as close as we can get)

I would represent his ass if the money was right, and I think he is guilty as all fuck. In the US you have a right to an attorney. Not the right for that attorney to believe you.

Damn. NCAA came down hard as fuck on Penn State.

So would you defend a killer knowing he is guilty but you'll be getting good money?
