Criminal cases are mainly divided into three stages: investigation stage, prosecution stage and trial stage. Lawyers play different roles at each stage, and the family members of the parties have the right to entrust lawyers to intervene in the case.
During the investigation stage of the Public Security Bureau, defense lawyers can meet with criminal suspects as many times as they wish. When lawyers meet with criminal suspects, they can learn about the case, including the following:
(1) The criminal suspect’s physical situation;
(2) Whether and how to participate in the suspected case;
(3) If you are guilty, state the main facts and circumstances related to conviction and sentencing;
(4) If you think you are innocent, state a plea of ??not guilty;
(5) Whether the legal procedures for taking compulsory measures are complete and whether the procedures are legal;
(6) Whether their personal rights and litigation rights have been violated after taking compulsory measures;
(7) Other information you need to know.
