1. If there is enough evidence to prove that the criminal suspect constitutes a crime, even without the confession of the criminal suspect, the criminal responsibility of the criminal suspect should still be investigated.
2. If the investigation evidence is insufficient to prove that the criminal suspect constitutes a crime, the criminal responsibility of the criminal suspect cannot be investigated according to the principle of suspecting the crime without principle.
If there is other evidence to prove that the suspect has committed a criminal act, even if the suspect does not admit it, he still needs to be convicted and sentenced. The people's court can find out the facts of the crime through its own functional activities and confirm the criminal nature of the act according to the provisions of China's criminal law. Therefore, a criminal suspect can still be convicted if he does not admit the crime and can prove his crime through other evidence.
If there is no other evidence to prove the criminal act committed by the criminal suspect, he will not be convicted and sentenced. The key depends on other evidence. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and strive to reduce or exempt punishment, it is suggested that lawyers should be entrusted to meet at the detention center as soon as possible during the "golden rescue period", intervene in defense, provide legal help, and strive for bail pending trial.
In criminal cases, it is rare for a criminal suspect to plead guilty voluntarily. The most common situation is that suspects will only plead guilty when they find that the court has mastered the evidence of their crimes and there is no hope for their own defense. China is a country ruled by law, especially the judicial system. Evidence is the core of criminal cases. If criminals don't admit the facts of the crime, they will collect evidence, and the criminal investigation organ will also investigate and collect evidence.
Article 48 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): All materials that can be used to prove the facts of a case are evidence. Evidence includes:
(1) Physical evidence;
(2) Documentary evidence;
(3) Testimony of witnesses;
(4) the victim's statement;
(5) confessions and excuses of criminal suspects and defendants;
(6) Appraisal opinions;
(7) Records of the inquest, inspection, appraisal, investigation and experiment;
(8) Audio-visual materials and electronic data.
The evidence must be verified before it can be used as the basis for finalizing the case.
