Will there be a letter of understanding to sue for assaulting a police officer?

Legal analysis: You can also appeal to the court after signing the letter of understanding. Signing a letter of understanding does not mean the loss of litigation rights. The letter of understanding can only apply for a mitigated punishment. If the victim and his legal representative are not satisfied, they have the right to request the people's procuratorate to lodge a protest. The letter of understanding is only a sentencing circumstance. Sentencing will be determined by comprehensive consideration of various factors, and it is recommended to entrust a lawyer as soon as possible. Lawyers can comprehensively consider various favorable factors and strive for a lighter, mitigated punishment or even suspended sentence for criminal suspects.
