The accused is a person who is involved in the commission of one or more crimes. The accused is being prosecuted, he has the right to defense in court and is free to choose his own tactics of behavior during the proceedings.
Instructions
Step 1
The lawyer is the main weapon of every accused. Of course, the accused can defend his honor on his own, without resorting to the services of a specialist. However, this luxury is only available to those with specialized knowledge and an excellent understanding of criminal law. The rest are unlikely to be able to fully represent their interests in court. The cost of a lawyer's services varies depending on the region, the popularity and complexity of the case in question. Usually, the income of a lawyer is calculated based on the number of hours spent on communication with the accused and reviewing the case materials.
Step 2
Many defendants try to exploit the image of a miserable loser or good boy, undeservedly suspected of committing a crime. Remember that before any judge, no matter how compassionate he may be, many of the same undeservedly accused with innocent eyes appear every day. Confident and adequate behavior will be much more honest. Keep your back straight, don't curry favor or cry. Answer the questions of the judge, lawyer and prosecutor in detail, without emphasized coldness or rudeness. In any case, you will answer for insults and shouts out of place: even if you are acquitted, the fines for uncultured behavior in court have not been canceled. Particularly unrestrained will have to pay up to 400 thousand rubles.
Step 3
At any stage of the investigation and legal proceedings, you have the right to demand clarification of your rights and procedural actions. I have no right to involve you in carrying out operational activities without your written consent. Both you and your lawyer have the right to request any part of the criminal case for examination. This should be done in self-defense if the behavior of the witnesses or the victim raises questions.
Step 4
Do not buy into the promises of pseudo-intermediaries who are ready to provide you with help and protection in exchange for an impressive sum of money. Do not agree to sign a deed of gift for an apartment in exchange for release or reduced term. When communicating with the investigator and the judge, do not joke, do not try to confuse the investigation and piss off the interrogator - this is not in your interests. You should not be afraid either, especially if you are not guilty of anything.
Step 5
The court decision is not always final. You can challenge it in the cassation or appeal instance after the expiration of the period specified by law from the date of the verdict.
