First, is it useful to ask a lawyer for criminal detention?
Of course it works.
It is best for public security organs to entrust lawyers to intervene after criminal detention, so that lawyers can meet the parties in time, understand the case and provide them with legal advice.
Article 33 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * 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 35 A defender shall, according to facts and laws, put forward materials and opinions on the innocence, light crime or reduction or exemption of criminal responsibility of a criminal suspect or defendant, and safeguard the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of the criminal suspect or defendant.
Article 36 A defense lawyer may provide legal aid to a criminal suspect during investigation;
Acting as an agent for complaints and accusations;
Apply for changing compulsory measures;
Ask the investigation organ about the crimes and cases suspected by the criminal suspect, and put forward opinions.
Article 37 A defense lawyer may meet and correspond with a criminal suspect or defendant in custody.
Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody.
Second, how important is the role of lawyers?
1. For criminal suspects during criminal detention, only lawyers can meet the suspects, but family members cannot visit them.
In order to strive for the greatest rights and interests, lawyers need to be involved to understand the case.
2. The entrusted lawyer can provide legal advice and represent complaints and accusations.
According to the law, lawyers can provide legal advice to criminal suspects when they are first interrogated or meet with them after compulsory measures are taken.
Due to the special identity and status of criminal suspects and the lack of legal knowledge, criminal suspects often dare not boldly safeguard their legitimate rights and interests because they don't know the law.
Therefore, when the suspect is arrested, his family should immediately hire a lawyer for him. With the lawyer's timely consultation, the suspect will be clear-headed.
3. Lawyers can apply for bail pending trial on their behalf, and apply for cancellation or change of compulsory measures on their behalf.
To sum up, criminal detention requires lawyers, and it is also very time-consuming to hire lawyers in criminal cases. Criminal suspects and their families should try their best to hire lawyers to provide assistance according to their own specific circumstances.
If a lawyer is hired during the trial, it is inevitable that the lawyer will be pressed for time, which may affect his role.
We will face many legal problems in our daily life, so we should know some legal knowledge so as not to be unable to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests when we encounter legal problems.
