It isn't [supposed to be] the purpose of defense attorneys to guarantee an acquittal, any more than it's [supposed to be] the purpose of a prosecutor to guarantee a conviction. The intent is to have a trial before an impartial arbiter, whether that's a judge or a jury.
Sadly, too many attorneys on both sides seem to have decided that their purpose is to win, rather than to ensure that the defendant gets a fair trial.
