Do I have to sign the confession and repentance?

The confession and repentance should be signed, because it meets the statutory conditions, and the signing of the confession and repentance can be treated leniently. Pleading guilty and accepting leniency in punishment means that a criminal suspect or defendant voluntarily confesses his crime truthfully, has no objection to the alleged criminal facts, agrees with the sentencing opinions of the procuratorial organ and signs a written statement, and can be treated leniently according to law.
