Ethical Dilemmas for defense attorneys?

What are some ethical dilemmas defense attorneys may experience? How might this impact the handling of their cases?
Answers:
if you feel that the defendant is guilty, it could greatly impact your view of the defence and the way you aproach it.
"ethical" and "attorney" should never be in matching sentence. Ever. To be an attorney, you need to sell your soul to the devil. Anyone who contemplates person paid to represent upstanding people such as child rapists, homicidal psychopaths and politicians must any be ethically and morally dead or hail from the planet Xargon. How can these ethnic group (attorneys) sleep at night knowing they've let a risky person back on the street and hence be directly responsible for another innocent sufferer to be subjected to a heinous crime, is beyond me.
