This was said with no shame. He was simply sharing how lawyers work and telling us that rather than focus on Truth and encouraging the jurors to concentratrate on the information being presented, they play on the court's emotions. As the Zohar says, this is an alma d'shikra ( world of lies).
Prosecutors keep their jobs by winning cases so they have to try to present it to the jury in convincing ways. They have to convince the public that they are ridding the population of criminals. Sometimes they fail and bad guys go free and sometimes they succeed in putting innocent people behind bars. Basically they have to sell their take on the case to the jury and hope that the jury buys it.
