What I heard he agreed to take the case, but after spending some time thinking about it. He said something along the lines "It's a most unusual case, and he has already admitted his guilt, but it's an important democratic right for every man or woman to have a defense lawyer". True ofcourse, but I'm sure he secretly loath his defense subject to the bone.
Regarding why he chose him, I read that they "worked in the same building once". I am not sure what this meant.
