I agree with both of you. It was explained to me when OJ Simpson was acquitted. It shows that people can get a fair trial (even if you need money for it). However, just as there is jury nullification, a lawyer can hold back from doing everything they can to get an obviously guilty client acquitted. But that can lead to grounds for a retrial if found out.
