In my country we had a similar case some years ago. A famous "bailaor" (profesional flamenco dancer), a real artist, famous for his art and performances, ran over some hard working dude, killed him, and fled the scene Then, he convinced his brother (who was a minor at the time) to take the blame, and say he did it (because, beeing a minor, he would get a lighter sentence) He was caught, but had a good lawyer and an impressive press campaign, and was sentenced to ONLY 3 years in jail. Actually, he keeps dancing, and is celebrated by the public, while the family of his victim has to see him having fullfilled live. Sometimes life, just sucks.......

@DA-br9xd What else can he do? I mean, he could go for them beeing mentally impaired, but I don`t think the judge would accept it . The ONLY thing he cannot do is lean back and say "screw it, they are guilty, lock them up". He is bassically f*cked, because he is the only person in all this mess that HAS to be on their side and try his best. I wouldn`t want to be in his place.

@Nilbog-Hunter I also think that would be the wise decision, so they could EVENTUALLY get a parole-hearing in many, many years, instead life without parole, but what if his defendands refuse? HE can`t FORCE them to act in their best interest. If they want to fight, he has to comply, even if he, as an expert, knows that it will only worsen their situation.........

Your honor! The truth and the facts are not helping my client! I resquest you to silence them! I get it! he is a public defender and has to do his job. To be fair, if I was in his place, I also wouldn`t know what to do......
