The prosecutor originally intended to charge attempted murder. The victim suffered serious injury, and the police suspected that a weapon of some type was used, but never was able to find one. The defendant has maintained that there was no weapon. It occurs to you that the victim will not be able to testify if the trial takes place quickly, due to his injuries. Accordingly, you do not agree to waive your client's "speedy trial" rights. This action would indicate your view that you are serving as your client's:
A. legal agent.
B. moral agent.
C. confidant.
