How do family members know the result of the video trial?

Family members of criminal cases can know the specific situation through lawyers. Under normal circumstances, family members will not be notified, but the defendant and his defender will be notified three days before the trial. If the defendant is absent, the defendant has the right to entrust a defender, and his close relatives may entrust a defender. In this case, it is equivalent to informing the family. In addition, in criminal trials, the number of family members of defendants is generally unrestricted. For cases with great influence and wide coverage, many people may attend, and the court will use side hearings to control the attendance.

Article 182 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If a criminal suspect voluntarily and truthfully confesses the suspected criminal facts, has made significant meritorious service or the case involves major national interests, with the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the public security organ may dismiss the case, and the people's procuratorate may decide not to prosecute one or more suspected crimes. If the prosecution is not initiated or dismissed in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall promptly deal with the sealed-up, distrained or frozen property and its fruits.
