In many years of contact with criminal suspects and their close relatives, almost all of them find a lawyer for legal help after the criminal case has entered the investigation stage for a month or more. It was constantly being staged: after spending a lot of money, the case did not turn around. The so-called social friends have been helping to run the case. In the end, the parties involved even the basic facts of the case, what stage it has reached, and the suspect’s confession or involvement in the case. I don't know the amount of crime, etc., and it all depends on my guess and understanding of the case. During the questioning, the lawyer asked three questions, and the only thing he knew was that "friends operate, people are not released".
The client paid a high price for what the lawyer learned about the case through normal legal channels.
my country's "Criminal Procedure Law" stipulates that a criminal suspect can hire a lawyer after the first interrogation by the investigation agency or the date of the compulsory measures (detained or arrested). After obtaining the entrustment of a criminal suspect or his close relatives, a lawyer may visit the detention center where he is being detained as soon as possible, and at the same time, he may communicate with the staff of the investigation agency handling the case to understand the circumstances of the case.
However, in fact, many family members went around looking for people and spent huge sums of money to finally understand only part of the case. Some family members even did not know the most basic facts of the case, and it was all based on their own guesses about the case. The relatives of criminal suspects who are detained in the detention center and need to add clothes, who are tortured to extract confessions, who are beaten and scolded, and who are violated in other circumstances are not known at all.
Providing legal help to criminal suspects at the first time plays a vital role in the case.
When a lawyer meets a criminal suspect, he will first inform him of his legal rights, help the criminal suspect to analyze the case objectively, and instruct him how to accurately and clearly state the facts of the case during interrogation by the investigative authority. Most criminal suspects sign and approve the interrogation transcripts recorded by the investigative organs without reading or having read them in a scribble manner, which results in serious disadvantages to them in the subsequent stages. The criminal suspect cannot grasp the key points of the case, so that the facts of the case that are beneficial to him have not been stated and recorded on the record. Others are forced to confess, induce confessions, etc. to make confessions that are unfavorable to themselves and do not conform to the facts, but they are recorded and become evidence that is unfavorable to them in the subsequent stages.
Find someone to make trouble, be deceived
Some criminals in the society seized the idea that the family members of criminal suspects are eager to understand the facts of the case and solve the case, and deceive the parties concerned. The family members were deceived from thousands to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and the family members were reluctant to make a statement after knowing that they were deceived in order to settle matters.
Legal awareness is indifferent and only believes in "human affairs"
Lawyers can learn about the circumstances of the case and the current situation of criminal suspects through normal legal channels, while the parties spend RMB 10,000 or more. Lawyers in European and American dramas from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States debate in court with high spirits, so that most people think that the job of lawyers is to debate in court. It is just a simple consultation. Many parties think that the lawyer's fee of tens of thousands of yuan is too expensive and not worth it. It does not matter if it costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to find someone to set things up. In the end, the court still decides the case based on the relevant facts. There are even more parties who spend money in the end without even knowing the progress of the case and the basic facts of the case.
These situations reflect people's indifference to the law, and they only believe in human feelings rather than the legal help provided by lawyers. In developed countries, even if they encounter the smallest problems in daily life, they do not seek relatives and friends, but hire professional lawyers to maintain their own rights and interests.
Only lawyers have the right to meet criminal suspects at any time from the beginning of the investigation phase of the case until before the court decision
A criminal case is divided into three stages: the investigation stage, the review and prosecution stage, and the trial stage. In the investigation stage, only the investigators handling the case can see the suspect and bring him for trial; during the review and prosecution stage (that is, when the case is transferred to the procuratorate), the investigators are not allowed to bring the suspect for trial, but only the two prosecutors who are in charge of the case. Arraignment; when the case reaches the trial stage of the people's court, the judge in charge of the case will not arraign criminal suspects, but if there is a need to arraign trial, only two judges will be arraigned.
If the party has hired a lawyer at the first time, the lawyer handling the case can meet at any time during these three stages until the judgment of the people's court takes effect.
