Solution

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> As this sentence is reporting the defense lawyer’s statement from the past, the verbs in the reported speech should be in the simple past tense. So, the verb ‘walks’ changes to ‘walked’. Hence, ‘The lawyer added that his client walked with the help of crutches’ is the correct answer.
