What are the duties of defense lawyers in second instance?

This stage is a comprehensive embodiment of lawyer's work. It is the last and most critical stage for lawyers to play their defense role. At this stage, lawyers will confront the public prosecution agency in an all-round way according to all the evidence they have in favor of the defendant and their skillful plot and legal knowledge, and launch a full-scale war of words with the public prosecution agency, and a real court battle will be launched in an all-round way. At this time, the public prosecutor prosecuted the defendant on behalf of the state and will request the court to investigate the criminal responsibility of the defendant according to the facts, evidence and law. Lawyers will claim that the defendant is innocent and guilty according to the facts and evidence law, and ask the court to fully consider their opinions. Lawyers will rely on their skilled legal knowledge, eloquence and quick thinking to capture every plot that is beneficial to the defendant. And submit it to the court in time. At this time, the defendant will play a very lonely and passive role in court without a lawyer's defense. In practice, although the court decides in the middle, it often unconsciously stands on the side of the prosecutor, at least in this way. The defendant is in the position of trial at this time. Although the court allows defendants to state freely, most defendants cannot and dare not let go to defend themselves. I am afraid that I will not be able to defend myself in the end, and I will have a bad attitude and be unwilling to accept legal sanctions. Lawyers, on the other hand, have no such worries. He will express his opinion freely in court. If the defendant can't or dare not, the lawyer can defend him. So as to avoid the defendant's fear of bad ending and the adverse effects caused by defending himself. In short, the work and role of lawyers reached its peak at this time. As the defender of the defendant, the lawyer will always stand firmly on the defendant's side. Faithfully perform the duties of a lawyer. Maximize the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the defendant.
