Can a person who gets a letter of understanding in a criminal case be released?

Legal analysis: getting a letter of understanding may not necessarily come out. According to the relevant laws and regulations, only lawyers can meet with criminal suspects before the judgment. Family members may consider entrusting a lawyer to the detention center to meet the criminal suspect, and carefully understand the specific process of the whole case and his confession to the public security organ. After the meeting, the lawyer will judge the circumstances of the crime and provide legal help and apply for bail pending trial in time; If the case is transferred to the procuratorate or the court, the defense lawyer can go to the procuratorate or the court to read the papers, collect the confessions, documentary evidence, physical evidence and other relevant evidence of the criminal suspect and other accomplices accused by the investigation organ, make a good defense plan after in-depth study, and ensure that the defendant is innocent, mitigated, exempted from punishment or declared suspended during the trial, so as to protect the rights and interests of the defendant to the maximum extent.

Legal basis: Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 288 In the following cases of public prosecution, if the criminal suspect and the defendant sincerely repent and obtain the understanding of the victim by means of compensation for losses, apology, etc., and the victim voluntarily reconciles, both parties may reconcile:

(a) due to a civil dispute, suspected of criminal cases stipulated in Chapters IV and V of the Specific Provisions of the Criminal Law, and may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years;

(two) criminal cases of negligence other than dereliction of duty that may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than seven years.

If a criminal suspect or defendant intentionally commits a crime within five years, the procedures specified in this chapter shall not apply.

Article 289 If both parties reach a settlement, the public security organ, the people's procuratorate and the people's court shall listen to the opinions of the parties and other relevant personnel, examine the voluntariness and legality of the settlement, and preside over the making of a settlement agreement.

Article 290 The public security organ may make suggestions to the people's procuratorate for leniency in cases where a settlement agreement is reached. The people's procuratorate may put forward suggestions for lenient punishment to the people's court; If the circumstances of the crime are minor and there is no need to be sentenced to punishment, a decision not to prosecute may be made. The people's court may punish the defendant lightly according to law.
