1. Maintain the dignity and authority of the law.
China's criminal procedure law gives criminal suspects and defendants the right to defense. Even criminals who commit heinous crimes still have the right to defense and should be guaranteed. Lawyer's defense is the most effective way to safeguard the legitimate rights of criminal suspects and defendants according to law, and it is also the most effective way to fully protect the right of defense of criminal suspects and defendants. Fully protecting the right of defense of criminal suspects and defendants is also the protection of legal dignity or authority.
2. Maintain fairness and justice.
The lawyer's defense is based on facts and laws, which proves that the defendant is innocent and light, and can make up for the lack of professional knowledge and defense skills of the criminal suspect or defendant. In the case that criminal suspects and defendants can't grasp the evidence accused by procuratorial organs, lawyers can fully protect their litigation rights in order to exercise their right to defense.
3. Prevent unjust, false and wrong cases.
In recent years, the unjust, false and misjudged cases exposed, the litigation rights of the wronged people have not been safeguarded, and they are all convicted and punished under the authority of "making a confession into a confession". Lawyer's defense can fully protect the right of defense of criminal suspects or defendants, and also help judicial organs to find out the facts of the case and the circumstances of the crime and maintain judicial procedures.
Criminals who have committed heinous crimes also want to live, because they don't know the laws and regulations of the country, the trial procedures in the court, and they won't defend themselves with the provisions of laws and regulations. Hiring a lawyer is just a glimmer of hope for criminals who have committed heinous crimes. After all, it is still possible for a good criminal defense lawyer to find out the key elements of a lighter sentence from the case. Even if a criminal can't be found for a light sentence, a lawyer will do his duty as a lawyer, even if it is hope.
Finally, although criminals who commit the most heinous crimes can get the impression of "getting off the crime" through lawyer's defense, it is also to fully protect their right to defense, so that criminal suspects or defendants can clearly understand "death" and achieve the effect of "convincing others by reasoning". You can also explain the law and educate people through the defense of lawyers.
Therefore, the lawyer's defense is not to excuse the bad guys, but to make the case handled openly and fairly, so that everyone can realize the fairness of the law.
