You sure he was actually innocent...?
Innocent until proven guilty. Showing up drunk doesn't mean he was guilty, of course. But in the eyes of a jury and judge, it certainly doesn't help his case.
I'm honestly just joking haha but true what you said
You tried your best, everything will be alright :)
His own fault, not yours. You did your job and you tried :)
Work sucks. I know.
she left me roses by the stairs
Say it ain't so
Turn the lights off
Carry me home
You did your job, if your client wanted to win, they should've done their job and come into court in a professional manner. Sorry, OP.
Depending on how airtight the defense is, I'm sure OP could at least make a case for reasonable doubt, which is all that is required to get a "not guilty" verdict (due process is awesome that way).
FTW #6 XD
His sobriety in court has no bearing on the underlying crime with which he's charged. It merely diminishes your attempt to prove character, which you would not do unless his character is called into question by the prosecution first. You don't sound like a lawyer. (For the next time you want to play lawyer, remember innocent until proven guilty. Your outlook on the case and client speaks volumes in front of the judge, jury, your colleagues, etc.)
I can just imagine the OP saying something along the lines of "As you can see, your honor, my client is an upstanding citizen who would never drink in public or act in a disorderly manner ..." following which the client would shout "What did you say?!?" before stumbling up to the judge and throwing up before passing out ...
Quick, use the Chewbacca defense! Never fails.

You would make a hell of a lawyer if your client still ended up innocent.
