Does the lawyer know the outcome before sentencing?

Legal analysis: Generally, judges are neutral before making a judgment, so they cannot reveal the result of the judgment. As a defender, a lawyer can protect the client's rights based on facts and law, but I don't know how the court will rule. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, after a criminal suspect is detained for criminal detention, the lawyer has the right to meet with the criminal suspect, and the lawyer can also inspect the case file.

Legal basis: Article 35 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China. If a criminal suspect or defendant does not retain a defender due to financial difficulties or other reasons, he or his close relatives may apply to a legal aid agency. For those who meet the conditions for legal aid, the legal aid institution shall designate a lawyer to defend them. If a criminal suspect or defendant is blind, deaf, mute or a mental patient who has not completely lost the ability to recognize or control his own behavior and has not appointed a defender, the people's court, people's procuratorate and public security organs shall notify the legal aid agency to appoint a lawyer to defend him. If a criminal suspect or defendant may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death without retaining a defender, the People's Court, People's Procuratorate, and Public Security Bureau shall notify the legal aid agency to appoint a lawyer to defend him.
