First of all, as family members, according to the detention notice and the description of the police officer handling the case, only a very small amount of case information can be obtained. For example: the charges at the time of detention, the time of detention, the police station or public security bureau where detention is carried out, etc. In the eyes of family members, this information is of little value. But in the eyes of lawyers, this information is very useful.
Secondly, when a criminal suspect is detained, there is no direct communication channel between his family and the suspect, and lawyers are needed as the media. Whether it is to understand the actual case or to observe the actual needs of criminal suspects, lawyers are needed because lawyers have the right to meet criminal suspects.
Third, the lawyer will consider the whole case through the meeting. At the same time, the professional opinions put forward by lawyers can effectively grasp the key points of each link, put forward better plans to protect the rights of criminal suspects to families, and promote the process of problem solving.
The earlier you hire a lawyer, the better it is to protect the rights of suspects, which is also in line with the spirit of "letting professionals do professional things".
Why do you need a lawyer for affray?
First of all, the parties themselves may not know all the facts of the case. In most cases, the parties are the first-hand witnesses of the case, but experience tells us that the parties may not know all the facts and processes of the case.
Second, the limitation of the parties' legal knowledge makes it difficult for them to correctly and accurately grasp the facts and the nature of the facts and the legal significance of the facts.
Third, most of the parties in criminal cases are deprived of or restricted from personal freedom and unable to collect evidence. We all know the importance of evidence in litigation, but it is difficult for these parties to collect evidence because they have lost their personal freedom.
Fourth, the psychological state of the parties affects the parties to defend themselves.
Can a lawyer plead not guilty?
First, the circumstances are obviously minor and harmless, and it is not considered a crime.
If the circumstances are obvious, minor and harmless, it is not considered a crime. For fights and gang fights caused by civil disputes, neighborhood disputes and marriage and family conflicts, if the consequences are not serious, you can plead not guilty.
Second, the fighting behavior of minors-the nature of innocence.
If the accused evidence of affray crime is analyzed, it is found that the nature of the crime is more in line with the characteristics of intentional injury, and the defendant has not caused minor injuries to the victim, he can plead not guilty.
If the accused evidence of affray crime is analyzed, it is found that the nature of the crime is more in line with the characteristics of the crime of stirring up trouble, and the defendant has not caused minor injuries to the victim, he can plead not guilty of the crime.
Third, the innocent defense of the general participants.
The crime of affray only investigates the criminal responsibility of ringleaders and active participants. If the accused evidence of affray crime is analyzed, it is found that the defendant is an ordinary participant, and the corresponding innocent defense can be carried out.
Fourth, there is no plea of innocence in affray.
(1) There is only one person on one side ―― it is certainly not the crime of affray.
(2) There are more than two people on one side, but they don't gather-a difficult plea of not guilty.
5. There is no direct and intentional plea of innocence.
If one of the defendants did not intentionally fight, and the other defendant falsely accused and framed for various reasons, it may also make the justifiable defender the defendant of the crime of affray.
Whether it is defensive behavior or affray, we can only make a comprehensive judgment on the basis of the evidence of the whole case, grasping the whole case, details and evidence background.
Due to the above reasons, the parties cannot fully and effectively defend themselves in the process of criminal proceedings. Lawyer's defense can overcome these limitations, so that the parties can truly enjoy the right of defense given by law and get fair treatment. If you encounter corresponding problems, consult a lawyer or find a more professional legal department to further solve them.
