The man was facing 30 years so his life was at stake.

I doubt you've ever handled a single criminal case, let alone one as serious as this. You realize a defense attorney has nothing to do with what prison the defendant goes to?

You would try to plead him guilty. And if he refused, would you simply go through the motions of defending him? I hope you could find an attorney who would vigorously defend you at your disbarment.
