Review:

A man accused of a crime, hired an attorney whose statements were always admitted by the court as undisputable truth. The following exchange took place in court.

Prosecutor: “If the accused committed the crime, he had an accomplice.”

Defender: “That is not true!”

Did the attorney help his client?

Uhmmpp... I think he didn’t help his client. The defender was lying only if the hypothesis was true and conclusion (or consequent) was false. So, the defender actually said that his client was guilty and there was no accomplice.
