Guilty of a Crime- Lawyer Question

The vanlife thread got me thinking. If in fact the boyfriend committed some crime, he lawyered up, and then told that lawyer everything truthfully, does the lawyer bend the facts to make the client look innocent or does the lawyer have a legal responsibility to speak the truth? Does he defend the client at all cost? I can’t imagine criminals are that smart to come up with an airtight story of innocence and then stick to said story for the rest of their lives. OJ Simpson comes to mind- his lawyers must have known the truth, but still defended his innocence.
Can someone explain, in basic terms, what a lawyer is supposed to do in these situations?
