Will I be sentenced if I sign a confession? Before we talk about this question, let's take a look at what is confession and punishment, and what is its use?
The book of confession and repentance is a legal document for criminal suspects and defendants to voluntarily admit their mistakes or crimes and seriously reform themselves. Generally speaking, it is an act that the criminal suspect directly surrenders himself and voluntarily confesses the facts of the crime.
This is a bit like the plot of surrender we usually say, confessing our criminal facts and being willing to bear corresponding legal responsibilities. If you sign a confession, it means that you have confessed.
Moreover, there is no objection to the main criminal facts and charges accused by the public prosecution agency, and the criminal suspect can be treated leniently according to law. But if there is something inconsistent with the facts in the confession and repentance book, don't sign it.
If there is no objection to the content of confession and punishment, you can sign the confession and punishment book accompanied by a lawyer. We must also actively return stolen goods and compensation, pay fines on our own initiative, actively compensate the families of the victims, and obtain a letter of understanding.
If you sign a confession, it means that you have confessed and confessed to your criminal facts. If the circumstances are serious and the suspect has a bad attitude, the court will reconsider whether to reduce the sentence even if he signs a confession and repentance.
For example, the suspect is suspected of endangering national security, causing adverse social impact, the criminal suspect is subjective and malicious, and the suspect takes crime as a common practice.
If the circumstances of the crime are minor, and the aftermath is actively handled, the victim's understanding is obtained or the stolen money is actively returned, a sentencing preference of less than 30% can be given.
If you are really innocent, don't sign a confession and repentance book. Go through normal procedures and wait for the investigation results of relevant departments. You can also appeal and ask a good lawyer to defend your innocence.
Don't sign the confession and repentance. The confession and punishment book is a legal document that the criminal suspect voluntarily confesses the facts of the crime truthfully, admits his own crime, has no objection to the alleged criminal facts, and is willing to accept punishment.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no evidence of criminal facts in the case, but the suspect has signed a confession and repentance, it is difficult for lawyers to help the suspect defend effectively.
So if you haven't committed a crime, or there are false contents in your confession and punishment, don't sign it. You can be accompanied by a lawyer when signing a confession and repentance.
If a confession is signed at one time, it is not without remedy. Confession and punishment can be withdrawn in writing, and there must be sufficient reasons for withdrawal.
Moreover, if you object to the facts of the crime at the court session, the confession and punishment will also be regarded as withdrawal. However, the court will still recognize some guilty confessions, so we must sign the confession and repentance book carefully.
The following kinds of people are not suitable for signing a confession and admitting punishment, such as whether the suspect is blind, deaf or dumb, or whether he is a minor or a person without criminal capacity, such as a mental patient.
In a word, if you sign the confession and punishment, it means that you have confessed. Never sign the confession if you have not committed a crime. Even if you withdraw your confession, the court will partially accept your confession.
The consequences of refusing to plead guilty. Never sign a confession and repentance book if there is no crime. However, suspects who do commit crimes may choose to sign a confession and get leniency.
What happens if the suspect refuses to plead guilty? If a criminal suspect or defendant refuses to admit the facts of his crime, he cannot enjoy the leniency policy under the condition that the chain of evidence is complete.
Be lenient in confession and strict in resistance. Some suspects are lucky enough to think that the relevant departments can't find your criminal evidence and can't sentence you, so they stubbornly resist and refuse to plead guilty.
In fact, as long as the relevant departments find relevant evidence to prove your crime, the court can make a judgment based on the evidence of the crime. Therefore, if you are really guilty, don't evade legal responsibility, and you can still get leniency if you actively cooperate.
According to the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if there is no direct evidence, but indirect evidence meets five conditions at the same time, the suspect is also found guilty.
Among them, there is sufficient evidence to confirm the facts of the crime, the evidence can confirm each other, the evidence of the whole case has formed a complete chain of evidence, and the application of evidence reasoning conforms to logic and experience.
Even if you don't talk about your criminal behavior, as long as you meet the above five conditions, you will be sentenced. The French open is long, but it is not leaking. If you are guilty, you must confess and strive for leniency.
That's it. Signing a confession means that you have pleaded guilty, and the court will judge you according to the severity of your crime. Never sign a confession unless you are innocent, otherwise it will be difficult for a lawyer to defend you effectively.
