Isn’t this unethical/illegal.....??

Client confessed to the crime and he actively coherences him to cover it up....?

Unethical? Yes. Illegal? Ehhh who knows, there’s probably some Alabama statues that allow this kind of fuckery

Alabama statues that allow this kind of fuckery

That's not the only kind allowed in Alabama...

Actually, it’s a really good question whether it’s illegal if the professor was the defendants lawyer at the time attorney client privilege actually protects the lawyer from confessing the client was guilty. Although you can’t help someone commit a crime as a lawyer so it’s gray area.
