Why is the 37 days from detention to arrest called the "golden 37 days" for the defense of smuggling crimes?
Because these 37 days are urgent, precious and crucial enough. For economic reasons, some parties did not hire a lawyer until the case reached the court, thinking that the court had the final say and it was useless to hire a lawyer in front. This idea is all wet, delaying things and delaying people. The earlier the lawyer intervenes, the more likely it is to play the best defense effect. The 37 days in the investigation stage is a crucial period for collecting criminal evidence. Once the arrest is approved, it means that the basic conviction evidence has been fixed, and it is very difficult to get a bail pending trial, and it is basically difficult to declare innocence. In the golden age, real money should be used, and lawyers should be entrusted early. Family members, friends or colleagues should seek the help of lawyers as soon as possible after receiving the detention notice. If you are detained, the anti-smuggling police can ask them to help inform your family and ask for a lawyer when they interrogate you for the first time.
