Who said better to let 10 guilty free than convict one innocent?
The phrase "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" is commonly attributed to the English jurist William Blackstone. This principle emphasizes the importance of protecting individual rights and the presumption of innocence in the legal system. It serves as a foundational concept in criminal law, advocating for caution in the conviction of individuals to prevent wrongful punishment.
Is it uncommon for a defendant to waive his or her rights to an attorney and undertake his or her own defense?
Not only is it uncommon, and unwise, for a defendant to waive his right to an attorney at trial, but it's uncommon for the judge to allow them to do so. In most cases, the judge will REQUIRE that the defendant have some kind of attorney, unless the defendant can prove that they are adequately able to provide their own defense (which most cannot). They, generally, require this to, both, protect the rights of the defendant and to prevent the defendant from applying for unnecessary appeals. Judges usually don't like their rulings overturned.

Should lawyers be emotion-less in order to be objective?
Not necessarily.The defense attorney's responsibilities do not require objectivity. Of course, if the defense attorney can objectively prove that the defendant is innocent, it helps, but most defense attorneys are well-aware of their client's guilt. Their responsibility is to get the defendant the best deal possible, which many times requires them to appeal to the emotions of the judge, prosecutor, and jury.The prosecutor should be a little more objective. The prosecutor is expected to provide tangible evidence that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; however, the prosecutor, too, may appeal to the emotions of the jury. You'll commonly hear prosecutors make remarks about the victim's personal life, representing them as an upstanding person, thus making the jury more likely to convict and the judge more likely to sentence strictly.Both should show SOME objectivity; however, if they're acting "emotion-less", they would not be adequately doing their jobs.Emotion-less objectivity is better suited for an investigator.

What should a defendant do when served in a lawsuit?
There really is no list of options for the defendant. The defendant must show up at the appointed time and place and represent their own interest at the hearing. If they cannot appear on that date they should visit the court and try to reschedule the hearing. It is always better to be represented by an attorney.There really is no list of options for the defendant.
