A couple of things I see wrong with this statement.
1. You imply that the DA has the corner on the truth and therefore the defense must be lying.
2. Do you really believe that lawyers are about getting the truth out there? They are about winning their case and in doing so will spin the facts to whatever direction helps them do just that regardless of the truth.
Many years ago I was on a jury to sentence a bank robber. I was amazed at the difference in how each side presented the "facts" about this individual. The prosecution made this guy out to be satan himself and the defense made it out like this poor soul was just having a bad day. Truth had nothing to do with it.
