On the one hand, lawyers' early involvement in litigation is beneficial to suspects. On the other hand, lawyers can help criminal suspects apply for bail pending trial.
Legal basis:
Article 33 of the Criminal Procedure Law: 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 takes compulsory measures. 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.
After accepting the entrustment of a criminal suspect or defendant, the defender shall promptly inform the case-handling organ.
Article 65 The people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs may obtain a guarantor pending trial for a criminal suspect or defendant under any of the following circumstances:
(a) may be sentenced to public surveillance, criminal detention or independent application of supplementary punishment;
(two) may be sentenced to more than fixed-term imprisonment, bail will not cause social danger;
(3) A woman who is seriously ill, unable to take care of herself, pregnant or breast-feeding her baby is released on bail pending trial, which will not cause social danger;
(four) the detention period expires, the case has not yet been settled, and it is necessary to get a bail pending trial.
Bail pending trial shall be executed by the public security organ.
