A friend of mine has defended a large number of pedophiles. The way he put it: the state is, in comparison to the criminal, so overwhelmingly strong, that even the worst criminal deserves a lawyer. If not, the criminal might easily be found guilty for additional things that he/she didn’t do.

It’s also important to call out when evidence was improperly collected, when police misbehaved, etc. That should force the police to do a better job, and follow proper procedures.
