Thats the only way to ensure that innocent people are not put away to suit the legal system. Its also to ensure that guilty people are truly guilty and not just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There must be many scenarios where a lawyer knows an innocent person has been jailed wrongly because one of their clients is guilty of that very crime!
I see the Police and Lawyers as Yin and Yang, one cannot function without the other and therefore it is ridiculous to expect zero overlap.
