The significance of criminal defense at that present stage

During the criminal suspect's detention, no one, including his family, can see him except lawyers and case handlers. The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that a criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide him with legal aid after the first interrogation by the investigation organ or the day when compulsory measures are taken. In the investigation stage, lawyers can meet with the criminal suspect after they are involved in the case, and can provide the following assistance to the criminal suspect:

1, through meeting with the suspect, inform the family members of their concerns, ease the anxiety of the suspect and give psychological comfort.

In the case of extorting a confession by torture, a lawyer may lodge a complaint or accusation on behalf of the criminal suspect. Thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of this situation.

5. It can help the criminal suspect to correctly understand his behavior and strive for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, thus reducing the punishment.

6. Lawyers can learn more about relevant cases from criminal suspects and procuratorial organs; Including reading or copying the identification technical data and prosecution opinions involved; You can communicate with the case handlers of the procuratorial organs about the cases you have learned, and put forward defense opinions to the procuratorial organs about the innocence of the criminal suspect, the light crime, and the crime of this crime.

7. Conditional, apply for bail pending trial.

In the stages of review, prosecution and trial:

1. You can consult, extract and copy all files. Collect materials related to this case and apply to the procuratorate or the court for collecting and obtaining evidence; Fully understand the case. Communicate with the prosecutor and judge in charge, show or ask for the collection of evidence or clues of the defendant's innocence and light crime to the procuratorate and court.

2. Meet with the defendant and exchange views with the defendant on the defense opinions initially formed by the lawyer; Tell the defendant about the trial procedure and matters needing attention in the trial, and do some cross-examination drills when necessary, so as to cooperate properly in the court and strive for better trial effect.
