In criminal cases, according to the law, whether the parties have a defense lawyer or not, the court should make a fair judgment according to law. However, under the current trial system, the procuratorial organ pays more attention to the role of the public prosecutor in the trial, and it is difficult to comprehensively put forward the aspects that are beneficial to the parties. If there is no defender to submit defense opinions favorable to the parties from all angles, the court will not consider some favorable circumstances and make a judgment unfavorable to the parties.
Of course, in rare cases, the farewell is whether the parties constitute a crime, guilty or innocent. Because the procuratorate sued the court as a public prosecutor, it is impossible for the public prosecutor to show the court the opinions and evidence that the parties do not constitute a crime. In this case, innocent parties may be convicted by the court, which is very serious.
Therefore, no matter what criminal case, the parties or their families should entrust a defense lawyer in time from the perspective of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
Criminal procedure law
Article 35 A defender shall, according to facts and laws, put forward materials and opinions on the innocence, light crime or reduction or exemption of criminal responsibility of a criminal suspect or defendant, and safeguard the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of the criminal suspect or defendant.
