  • Which I'd say is still defence

    I wouldn't but that's semantics. I agree that even the guilty are entitled to representation when it comes to mitigation/sentencing. The point I was trying to make is that if someone had absolutely definitely committed an offence, no legal representative would be allowed to suggest that they hadn't. For example, it's a cardinal sin when presenting a plea in mitigation to suggest that the accused isn't in fact guilty.
