This question is mainly for Marvel fans, but the character Daredevil is a superhero/vigilante who’s a lawyer, mainly a defense attorney. I get he’s about upholding justice and helping the little guy, but wouldn’t it make more sense for the character to be a prosecutor or a civil rights attorney rather than a defense attorney?

I get not everyone is guilty, and a lot of people get screwed over, but let’s be honest: most of the time, defense attorneys defend people who are, more often than not, guilty of crimes. If Matt’s whole character is about justice, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to be a prosecutor, use his hearing to decide if the person is guilty or not, and achieve justice that way? Or become a civil rights attorney?
