You said the judge could or might throw it in the trash. I said that is highly unlikely because it is evidence that must be shared with both attorneys. If you doubt that then please explain why the judge in the murder trial shared my letter with both attorneys and the prosecutor took it so seriously that he felt the need to read and counter it to the jury?
Also your comment of conceding when you feel you can't win is spot on and very revealing. Thats because lawyers don't have a sense of right or wrong...only 'can I win' by using any tact possible...which includes lying, exaggerating and misrepresenting. And, you concede here much more often than you think you do...at least to me you do. Like when you edited my the post above to remove your incorrect point about my skills vs. yours, in that my skills cannot be used to hurt people.
If a lawyer knew that his client was factually wrong about a certain point, yet saying it anyway would help his case, would it be lying for the lawyer to press that point anyway in hopes the other side did not expose the untruth in cross?
To me that is lying. To others it is good lawyering. Depends where one's morals are.
