What motivates someone to pull out all the stops defending the Arizona shooter in court? - Edit 1

I read today about this famous lady lawyer who has taken up the role of defense attorney to Jared Loughner.
Apparently she's defended a bunch of clearly guilty and very evil guys in the past, and by all accounts she's about to pull out all the stops to save this Loughner guy from the death penalty.
The trial may apparently take more than a year as she calls in experts to try and portray him as insane, attempt to move the case out of Arizona to get a "fairer" trial and every other course of action that may save him from the chamber.
Now, clearly this lady feels quite strongly about her cause (which I presume is to oppose capital punishment).
I just wonder how such a person gets up every morning for a year or more and motivates herself to go all out defending this douche bag who she KNOWS murdered a bunch of innocent people and caused untold sorrow to the families of amongst others the 9 year old girl who was killed.
If you really want to change the world for the better, wouldn't your clearly IMMENSE dedication and single minded devotion to a better society be better spent finding ways to feed the poor, find homes for orphans, help treat the sick or just about ANYTHING else other than spending a year of your life and untold taxpayers money extending the anguish of all the bereaved families by trying to save the life of one, monstrous individual?
It just boggles the mind.
