Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
They're not trying to get them acquitted; they're trying to get them a fair trial. Both sides of the argument have to be seen. This is the theory anyway; I'll grant there are those in the legal profession who don't care as long as they win, and that the system generally isn't perfect.
By your reasonong, though, people should only be taken to court (without lawyers!) if they're guilty...which is what court's there to decide. Your logic is circular like pie. Mmm...pie logic...

I don't know how you arrive at that! My point is "if they KNOW they are guilty" - not that everyone who goes to court is guilty!
