Legal analysis: Under normal circumstances, victims of criminal cases have no right to read papers before trial. Only the public prosecutor and the defender can read the papers, the defendant can ask for evidence of criminal proceedings and incidental civil proceedings, and the victim can only ask for evidence of incidental civil proceedings. Most of this evidence is provided by the victims themselves. Therefore, in criminal cases, the victim has almost no possibility to read newspapers.
Legal basis: Paragraph 2 of Article 36 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Since the people's court accepted the case, the defense lawyer can consult, extract and copy the materials of the alleged criminal facts in this case, and can meet and correspond with the defendant in custody. With the permission of the people's court, other defenders may also consult, extract and copy the above materials, and meet and correspond with the defendant in custody.
