Second, both the prosecution and the defense and the trial believe that there is no need for witnesses to appear in court. After the defense lawyer applies to the people's court to decide whether to appear in court, the spouse, parents and children of the criminal defendant may refuse to be included in the court's request to appear in court.
Legal basis: Article 187th of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). The public prosecutor, the parties, their defenders and agents ad litem have objections to the witness testimony, which has great influence on the conviction and sentencing of the case. If the people's court considers it necessary to let the witness testify in court, the witness shall testify in court.
