The process of innocent defense in criminal cases

Legal analysis: the process of innocent defense in criminal cases: defense lawyers can fight for innocence by proving that the defendant is not the subject of crime or has no criminal facts. If this method fails, the defense lawyer can fight for innocence by proving that the defendant's criminal behavior is insufficient or the judicial organ's procedure is illegal. If all the above methods fail, you can change to light defense.

Legal basis: Article 33 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). In addition to exercising the right of defense, criminal suspects and defendants may also entrust one or two people as defenders. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders:

(1) lawyers;

(2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs;

(3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants.

A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
