1, the trial procedure was not improper. This is pre-trial mediation, not a procedure stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Law. Its purpose is to reduce the punishment for criminals. If a compensation mediation agreement is reached, the judge may consider a lighter punishment when sentencing criminals in criminal trials.
2. From the legal point of view, before the case is pronounced, the defendant has the right to change his defense lawyer and can appeal according to law. No more than two defenders. If the court session is no longer held, it is mainly to submit a defense and a civil agency opinion.
If you insist on changing lawyers, you can find a new defense lawyer. If the defendant and his family think it necessary to entrust a new defense lawyer to intervene in the procedure, they should entrust it in time after the case arrives in court, and try to avoid entrusting it after the trial or even after the trial.
The defense lawyer introduced:
A defense lawyer refers to a lawyer who is entrusted by the defendant or appointed by the court to defend the defendant according to law in criminal proceedings. When performing defense duties, defense lawyers must properly defend according to law, and shall not arbitrarily fabricate facts, misinterpret the law, or illegally defend. The role of lawyers in criminal defense is not "vase" or dispensable, but decisive.
Defense duties of defense lawyers: according to specific cases, put forward materials and opinions to prove the innocence, light crime or reduce or exempt criminal responsibility of criminal suspects and defendants, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
Extended data:
1. After the first hearing, it is still possible to hold a second or third hearing. If the trial is held again, the entrusted lawyer can participate in the trial and protect the legitimate rights and interests as much as possible.
2. If the court decides directly after the trial, the entrusted lawyer can analyze the case and judgment in detail. If you are dissatisfied with the court's decision, your entrusted lawyer can appeal on your behalf, participate in the second instance proceedings and safeguard your rights and interests.
Of course, if we can change lawyers before the first court session or even before bringing a lawsuit to the court, it will be more conducive to lawyers to grasp the direction and strategy of litigation from the perspective of the whole case and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests as much as possible.
