Everyone is allowed to defend themselves as permitted by law. However, hiring a lawyer is a thing in this day and age, and there’s a reason for that. It is up to the defendant in a criminal case whether he or she retains a defense lawyer. The defendant may defend himself, but if the defendant cannot retain a defender due to financial difficulties.
If the defendant is blind, deaf or mute, the court shall notify the legal aid agency to provide legal aid. It is okay to defend yourself without a lawyer. Defense is a term in criminal procedure law. Self-defense is a right granted to the defendant by the court. Participants in litigation have the right to sue judges, prosecutors and investigators for infringement of citizens' procedural rights and personal insults.
Principles of Litigation
In criminal proceedings, criminal suspects have the right to defense from beginning to end, that is, to prove their innocence or minor crime. The principle of innocence refers to a criminal evidence principle of presumption of innocence in difficult criminal cases where the criminal facts are unclear and the criminal evidence is insufficient. It is also a procedural principle that protects the basic human rights of the defendant and embodies the objective requirements of the value of modern criminal proceedings.
The new "Criminal Procedure Law" introduces the principle of innocence, creating opportunities for lawyers to defend innocence. The evidence must form an evidence system, that is, a complete chain of evidence. If the evidence cannot form a system and the chain of evidence is disjointed, the accusation will not be established. If the defendant cannot be found guilty due to insufficient evidence, a verdict of not guilty should be made because the alleged crime cannot be established due to insufficient evidence.
