An attorney's job is to ensure that his client gets a fair trial and to advise his client on court procedures, and possible punishments. It isn't his job to lie to the court or do anything unethical or illegal. As long as this Bishop is not breaking the law, then yes he is doing his job. Being a defense attorney means you deal with some of the lowest of the low in society, but they have made the choice to ensure that the legal system works properly and at it's best. They are not supposed to make moral judgements about their clients, but to ensure their clients rights.
