Legal privilege must apply to a crime Patrick or Defendants in criminal matters would never be able to trust their solicitors. The bedrock of the relationship between a lawyer and their (criminal) client is that the client can speak the truth to their lawyer with no fear that the lawyer will then "dob them in" (beyond imminent threats).

None of us can do our jobs if our clients hide things from us.
