I'm sure they got some kind of kick out of it, don't you? Else why would they do it? Just the money??? maybe, but I doubt it ...

Yeah. You better believe it. It's a rush. The only thing that feels better than winning is sex afterwards. I don't handle murders - I don't do much criminal law at all. It is so damn hard to win a murder case, if I won one, I'd feel like I was on top of the world. If you don't like that, just imagine how you'd feel if you were charged with murder and your lawyer didn't really want to win. Is that too ethically ambiguous for you? Consider this exchange between Sir Thomas More and Thomas Roper in A Man for All Seasons (Act 1, Scene 6): >>Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law. More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that. More: Oh? And when the last law was down--and the Devil turned round on you--where would you hide? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.<<
