Do lawyers communicate with the procuratorate for sentencing?

The procuratorate will not communicate with lawyers for sentencing. When examining a case, the procuratorial organ shall interrogate the criminal suspect, listen to the opinions of the defender or the lawyer on duty, the victim and his agent ad litem, and record them. Procuratorial organs and defense lawyers are opposing prosecution and defense parties. The positions of the two sides are different, and the procuratorate, as a public prosecution organ, should perform its functions in accordance with legal procedures.
