This is what makes a professional lawyer: being able to put his own feelings toward the defendant aside. Even harder when he certainly hates the guts of his client.
Regarding the public Lippestad gains: this can also backfire on him, if people assume that he has sympathies for the murderer by the fact that he defends him. So this is a two-edged sword.
