The Truth About The Original OJ Case

I have always had a little bit of a problem with this concept because it leads to the conclusion that if a defendent tells his attorney he did it, the attorney will recomend to his client that he still plead innocent if he thinks the case is winnable.

This is moronic. How do I know? Well, one can't know the motives of every criminal defense attorney, so I don't anymore than you do. But, I happen to have 3 family members who are criminal defense attorneys with 20+ years experience each, one high up in Washington. Neither they, nor any other ethical attorney would recommend an admittedly guilty client to plead innocent. Not one. This is easy to see because if the opposition actually does pull off a rare victory (I say rare because you stated the case was winnable), it would mean guilt for both the defendent and the defense attorney.

You clearly have little knowledge of the legal system. I mean are you really citing the National Inquirer to prove your case even with an "if this is true" caveat?
