On the role of defenders in criminal proceedings.

A: In criminal proceedings, the defender's defense plays an important role and significance in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants and realizing fair justice. First, the defender's participation in criminal proceedings can make up for the defects of criminal suspects and defendants' self-defense, and help criminal suspects and defendants better exercise their right to defense. Secondly, the activities of defenders can help the judicial organs to fully understand the case, accurately identify the facts of the case, correctly apply the law, handle the case fairly, and prevent the occurrence of unjust, false and wrong cases. Thirdly, the defender's defense activities can make the trial activities better play the role of legal publicity and education.
