Your case involves "summary procedure". According to Article 218 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a case under the jurisdiction of the "Basic People's Court" can be tried by summary procedure if the following conditions are met:
(1) The facts of the case are clear and the evidence is sufficient;
(2) The defendant admits his crime and has no objection to the alleged criminal facts;
(3) The defendant has no objection to the application of summary procedure.
From the above, we can see that your friend pleaded not guilty, so it is illegal for the court to apply "summary procedure";
Furthermore, according to Article 211 of the Criminal Procedure Law, "if a case is tried by summary procedure, a collegial panel may be formed to try it, or a judge may try it alone; If the term of imprisonment that may be sentenced exceeds three years, a collegial panel shall be formed for trial, and a summary procedure shall be applied to the trial of public prosecution cases, and the procuratorate shall send personnel to attend. "
I ask you, have you seen the prosecutor?
Your friend was sentenced to 2112, which belongs to the range of more than 3 years. The court should set up a collegial panel. Those who are less than 3 years can be sentenced by a single judge, but those who are more than 3 years can't. There must be 3 judges!
As for that person's statement that "all the defense words are invalid", it is absurd, and there is only a case of "adopting or not adopting", and there is no statement of "valid or invalid";
The sentence of imprisonment for an accessory is 12 years, which is even more illegal as the term of recidivism. According to Article 27 of the Criminal Law, "an accessory is one who plays a secondary or auxiliary role in the same crime.". For accomplices, they should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment or be exempted from punishment. " The court's decision is absurd.
However, it is not necessary to violate the Criminal Procedure Law if the lawyer is not allowed to speak during the whole session, because according to Article 212 of the Criminal Procedure Law, "a case shall be tried by summary procedure, and with the permission of the judge, the defendant and his defender can argue with the public prosecutor, the private prosecutor and his agent ad litem". Did you notice that "with the permission of the judge", so there is a legal basis for that guy not to let the lawyer speak?
