One statement and then I am off like a prom dress (if I wanted to get involved in this crap I would go to Fark):
Your statement above is not actually true. The purpose of a defense attorney is to ensure a fair trial. Their purpose is to make sure the prosecution holds to the letter of the law and does not abuse their power. The defense attorney makes sure the prosecution doesn't create false evidence or testimony.
Granted, anyone accused of a crime is going to get the guy with the best record for acquittals, so I understand their vigor in attempting to produce the most not guilty verdicts.
I understand that my statement above is a "rose-colored glasses" approach to criminal defense, but that doesn't make it any less true.
Commence with your name calling and bickering.
