The best case scenario is to refuse to represent the client on moral grounds. But sometimes the court is stuck, and the prosecutor needs someone to serve as defense counsel to get the conviction.

In that situation, you take the case and provide barely adequate defense. Try hard to get the client to plead to a heavy sentence; the judge and prosecutor will love you for saving time and money--and they'll pay you back.

The client, like just about all arrestees, doesn't deserve a zealous defense. Go through the motions. Make the arguments so the habeas people can't claim IAC, but do everything with tone and body language to show your client is a snake.

Make one quick trip to the prison to visit the client. Otherwise, take another couple of trips at times you know the jail won't make the client available. Don't seek any experts. No mitigation, or at most get a bozo who's easy to refute and humiliate.

Finally, hammer people like this child rapist at the SYSTEMIC level. Oppose public defender funding at every opportunity. DQ anyone with defense background for a judgeship. Portray court-appointed attorneys as wasteful; cut their compensation at every turn. On the Federal level, ask Congress to mandate abandonment of Brady rules on evidence.

Hillary took the case to do a favor, but she didn't atone for her work. That's going to be her downfall.[/quote]

I'm not an attorney, but please tell me this is a sarcastic post and restore my last shred of faith in America.  [/quote]

Ironically, this approach would get the defendant's conviction thrown out for inadequate assistance of counsel.[/quote]

Nope, you'd be doing just enough to avoid IAC. Sighs, cold body language, and recoiling from the client don't enter the record.[/quote]
