Do prisoners need lawyers after being arrested by the procuratorate? You may or may not need it; Article 33 A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken. During the investigation, only lawyers can be entrusted as defenders. The defendant has the right to entrust a defender at any time. When interrogating a criminal suspect for the first time or taking compulsory measures against him, the investigation organ shall inform him that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's procuratorate shall, within three days from the date of receiving the case materials transferred for examination and prosecution, inform the criminal suspect that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's court shall, within three days from the date of accepting the case, inform the defendant of the right to entrust a defender. If a criminal suspect or defendant requests to entrust a defender while in custody, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall promptly convey it. If a criminal suspect or defendant is in custody, his guardian or near relative may also entrust a defender. Will you be sentenced if you are formally arrested? Not necessarily. You have to go through the prosecution procedure to decide whether to prosecute or not. Review and prosecution refers to the litigation activities in which the people's procuratorate reviews the cases transferred by the public security organs and the cases terminated by its own investigation, and decides whether to prosecute, not to prosecute or reject the prosecution of the criminal suspect according to law. According to the provisions of China's criminal procedure law, the people's procuratorate shall complete the examination of the case transferred by the public security organ for examination and prosecution within 7 days, and the examination period is included in the examination and prosecution period. After receiving the prosecution opinions from the public security organs, the people's procuratorate shall appoint procurators to examine whether the case belongs to the jurisdiction of the court, whether the prosecution opinions and files are complete, whether the files are bound and handed over in accordance with the relevant regulations and requirements, whether the litigation documents and technical appraisal materials are bound separately, whether the objects as evidence are transferred with the case, whether the list of transferred objects and articles is consistent, whether the criminal suspect files a case and whether compulsory measures are taken. Upon examination, if it meets the acceptance conditions, fill in the Registration Form for Acceptance, Examination and Prosecution. If the transferred prosecution opinions and other materials do not meet the relevant regulations and requirements or are omitted, the public security organ shall be required to make and transfer or supplement them within 3 days. If a criminal suspect is at large, the public security organ shall be required to take measures to ensure that the fugitive criminal suspect is transferred to another case for examination and prosecution after he arrives at the case, and the examination and prosecution of the criminal suspect on file shall be carried out as usual. Cases transferred by the investigation department of our hospital for examination and prosecution shall be handled by the examination and prosecution department of the people's procuratorate in accordance with the above procedures. To sum up, after the criminal suspect is arrested, it shows that law enforcement officers have enough evidence to prove the facts of the crime, which is generally difficult to overthrow. But as a criminal suspect, he also has the right to entrust an attorney to defend him and see if he can mitigate his crime. Therefore, he should always know what to do and what not to do.
