I don’t think many reasonable people would hear a person’s attorney make such a statement, especially after a guilty verdict on such a horrible charge, and wouldn’t recognize it as the lawyer just saying what a lawyer should be saying… he’s not trying to persuade anyone other than his client in continuing to fight - because keeping the case going results in more money.
Not many lawyers get into the profession because they want to be decent humans… their job involves people paying them money to be on their side so obviously a defense attorney’s values are motivated very heavily by money.
But that’s a lawyer’s job. Rule number 1 is you never admit guilt… the prosecutor’s job is to prove your guilt, and you never make it easy for them to do so.
