As a criminal defense lawyer, it's not my place to judge the innocence or guilt of a client. My job is to get all of the evidence available, have an investigator find additional evidence, and evaluate that evidence to decide the best defense strategy. Along the way, there can be plea bargain offers from the prosecutor. A defense attorney has an ethical obligation to pass those offers to the client and discuss them in relation to what might happen at trial. The decision to take an offer belongs to the client. In Tyler's case, I can't talk about specifics of his defense because it comes under the protection of the attorney client privilege. What I can say is the trial lasted TWO DAYS, was not a "simple trial", and did involve evidence presented by the district attorney into the second day. The evidence included police officer testimony and the testimony of an alleged victim.  Tyler was found guilty by a jury of his peers after a full and fair presentation of evidence at the trial.
