In criminal cases, lawyers have the right to defend independently and are not limited by the opinions of clients. In civil cases, lawyers, as agents, must be faithful to the opinions of their clients. If the lawyer disagrees with the defendant, the defendant may ask for a change of lawyer; If they are inconsistent, lawyers can defend themselves according to their own understanding and express their own defense opinions. Of course, in terms of litigation strategy, lawyers and defendants should agree; If there is disagreement, the defense effect will of course be discounted. Is the defendant willing to plead guilty even if he is innocent?
this is possible. In criminal proceedings, only pleading guilty can reduce the defense; If you don't plead guilty, there is no way to mitigate the circumstances. Once you don't plead guilty, you will lose the opportunity to mitigate the defense. The so-called "to say the least, if it constitutes a crime ..." is hard to justify in court. Therefore, whether to plead not guilty or to accept a misdemeanor defense should be judged according to the specific circumstances of the case, and wishful thinking should not be allowed.
