A lawyer is in an awful position about that. It's not fair to the accused who is charged with a serious crime if a lawyer says he's not going to take the case because it reflects badly on the accused and that's not fair to him. On the other hand, if a lawyer is deciding to take the case and hasn't made up his mind, it's also difficult for the accused.

And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?
