Good defense attorneys don't lie or deny reality.

Good defense attorneys give good legal advice and do the best for their client. The photo is what lawyers would can "not a helpful fact". But unless the client insists on a case where they pretend the photo was someone else or staged or photoshopped, there's no point in denying it.

In fact, if the client is best served by testifying against others in exchange for reduced charges, then he really has to acknowledge he was there.
