2. Victim representation in public prosecution cases refers to the act of lawyers or other citizens accepting the entrustment of victims in public prosecution cases and their legal representatives or close relatives to participate in litigation as the victim's agent. Article 40 of my country's Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that victims of public prosecution cases and their legal representatives or close relatives have the right to entrust an agent ad litem from the date the case is transferred for review and prosecution. The People's Procuratorate shall, within 3 days from the date of receipt of the case materials transferred for review and prosecution, notify the victim and his legal representative or close relatives of their right to entrust an agent ad litem. It can be seen that the representation of victims in public prosecution cases has the following characteristics: (1) The victim in public prosecution cases can entrust an agent, which can be the victim himself, a close relative or a legal representative. Others have no right to entrust an agent for the victim. (2) The victim's legal representative or the agent entrusted by a close relative is the victim's agent ad litem, not the victim's legal representative or the agent of a close relative. (3) The victim entrusts an agent ad litem from the date the case is transferred for review and prosecution. In other words, the victim cannot entrust an agent during the investigation stage of the public prosecution case. After the case is transferred for prosecution, you can appoint an attorney at any time, including the first instance and the second instance. In criminal proceedings, the victim's litigation agent can only exercise all or part of the litigation rights granted to the victim by law. The rights of victims in criminal proceedings mainly include: (1) During the prosecution stage, they have the right to express their opinions on the case to the prosecutor. If the victim refuses to accept the decision to complain, he has the right to appeal to the People's Procuratorate at the next higher level or to file a lawsuit directly with the People's Court. (2) After the public prosecutor reads the indictment in court, the victim may state the criminal facts charged in the indictment, and with the permission of the presiding judge, may ask questions to the defendant, witnesses, and appraisers. Opinions may be expressed on the physical evidence, witness testimony, identification conclusions, inspection, inspection records and other evidence presented or read out in court. (3) The victim has the right to apply for notification of new witnesses to appear in court, the right to obtain new physical evidence, and the right to apply for re-identification or inspection. (4) The right to participate in court debates. (5) If the victim is dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment of the local people's court at any level, he may request the People's Procuratorate to lodge a protest in accordance with the law. (6) If the victim suffers material losses due to the defendant's criminal behavior, he may file an incidental civil lawsuit in accordance with the law. These litigation rights of the victim are also within the scope of the victim’s attorney. The specific scope of agency for each case shall be subject to the provisions of the agency agreement, and the agency may be fully or partially represented. It is difficult for victims to fully exercise their litigation rights due to lack of legal knowledge or disabilities caused by criminal acts. The establishment of a litigation agency system can better protect the legitimate rights and interests of victims and others. After a lawyer accepts the victim's entrustment, he must first understand the case and find out various circumstances that are beneficial and detrimental to the victim. If the facts are unclear, the attorney may inquire from judicial officers or request supplementary investigation. Write an agency statement after finding out the facts of the case. The agent's statement should elaborate on the identification of criminal facts, evidence, characterization, and the various harms and losses directly caused by the criminal behavior to the victim. The narrative should be clear and the text should be concise. During the court session, the defendant must appear in court on behalf of the victim, read out a statement of agency, exercise the right to entrust litigation on behalf of the victim, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the victim.
