It's essential for attorneys to defend their clients' constitutional rights and ensure that all evidence is brought to light, regardless of the nature of the case or the perceived guilt of the defendant. In this specific instance, the withheld evidence led to a mistrial for Alec Baldwin's case, but it also highlights the importance of honesty and transparency in the legal process.
