Eghad, the law is about the law. Bringing right and wrong into it, or bringing absolute truth into it, would be great in an ideal world and an ideal legal system. However, we have neither, even if our legal system is much better than most.
Besides, here's an example:
You are attacked by a gun-wielding mugger. You are carrying, you see an opportunity, you draw and double-tap. He dies.
Your first emotional reponse is "Take that, you SOB!!!"
Now, if you are completely honest, and tell your attorney that was your first thought, do you think he should tell you to say that to the police, the DA, or in court?
If he advises against talking about your initial mental state, is he suborning perjury?
