Well, let's see. The Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to a fair trial. It's pretty hard to get a fair trial if your own defense attorney is trying to get you convicted. Defense lawyers are not evil. They're making sure their clients get their constitutional rights. Surely you're not going to start arguing that the constitution should only be upheld if YOU think the individual is deserving of it.

That's like saying the scientists who invented the atomic bomb were badasses because they created a way to kill thousands of people in one fell swoop. Hell, they were just doing their job! They should be praised like heros.

#1 no it's not, #2 you're wrong about that too. They created a way to end world war 2 with a minimum of deaths for Americans. And frankly since WE were the ones attacked in that war, I don't have a problem with it.
