Resumen
SELEME, Hugo Omar. Defending the Guilty: A Moral Argument. Isonomía [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.17-60. ISSN 1405-0218.
Popular condemnation is applied to the lawyer who, aware of her client's guilt, argues in favor of her innocence, questioning the validity and strength of the evidence. The purpose of this paper is to offer a new rebuttal of the argument which serves as the basis of this condemnation. The refutation that is offered in the paper is based on the prospective conception of obligation.
