1. The right to meet; after a criminal suspect is detained for criminal detention, a meeting with a lawyer can help him understand his rights and avoid adverse retractions.
2. Forensic work; lawyers can collect evidence, such as psychiatric identification, which will help the investigative agency to correctly evaluate the case.
3. Communication and coordination; lawyers communicate with case-handling agencies, issue legal opinions, and safeguard the rights and interests of parties.
4. Legal aid; lawyers can help reach an understanding and influence the outcome of the case. During these 37 days, lawyers have the opportunity to communicate with the investigative agencies and procuratorates to seek bail pending trial or dismissal of prosecution to avoid the arrest of criminal suspects, which will help handle the case and safeguard the legal rights of the parties.
Legal provisions on criminal detention:
1. Definition of criminal detention: Criminal detention refers to the coercive measures taken by judicial organs to restrict the personal freedom of criminal suspects in accordance with the law;
2. Criminal detention conditions: There must be evidence of criminal facts. In order to prevent the criminal suspect from evading investigation or destroying evidence, detention is deemed necessary;
3. Criminal detention period: generally no longer than 37 days, of which the initial detention period is 3 days, and the review and prosecution period can be extended to 30 days;
4. Criminal detention procedures: must be decided by the public security organ, procuratorate or court in accordance with the law, and within 24 hours Notify the detained person's family;
5. Lift criminal detention: During the detention period, if the detainee is found to be innocent or does not need to be continued in detention, the detention should be lifted immediately.
To sum up, 37 days of criminal detention is very important for criminal suspects. During this period, the lawyer's intervention not only guaranteed the right to visit and promoted effective evidence collection, but also played a key role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the parties and affecting the outcome of the case through communication and coordination with the case-handling authorities, especially in seeking to obtain bail pending trial or to withdraw the case. On the other hand, unnecessary arrests are avoided, which is conducive to the reasonable handling of cases and the protection of rights and interests.
