The defense attorneys were good too
They could have made them cartoonish: villainous, or straw men who were easy to knock over. But they did a good job, for the most part without being too sleazy. Their parts were well written and well acted. Good legal drama all around even though there wasn't a lot of time spent in the courtroom (I would have liked to see more).
