But their client has to lie, even if they're not fully guilty of the crime -- it takes just one small offhand admission of guilt related to the crime in a seemingly private space, for the police and the prosecution to pin the entire crime on them. The system is not built on forgiveness. It will punish you fully regardless the severity of your actual crime. The fact that the author has no sympathy nor understanding of this, leads me to believe that they're not doing the job for the right reasons.

Client can misunderstand this position all they want, does not matter.
