This is kind of like saying that defense lawyers are the reason why some violent criminals walk free.

  Since you are qualifying the statement with "some", a lot of people (including me) will have no qualms about agreeing to it.

    I'd need a lot more qualification than that. If defense lawyers have only just been invented then perhaps you can say that someone walked free because of defense lawyers, otherwise it is just the actions of a particular defense lawyer and in that case if those actions are a primary cause, then a different defense lawyer could have had a different outcome, so it is not the existence of defence lawyers per se, that caused that person to walk free.

  If defense lawyers formed a cartel, got people loyal to the cartel elected prosecutor, and colluded with the prosecutor, you'd be goddamn right.
