The number of acquittal cases in China has always been rare, often less than 8 out of 10,000. This makes it difficult for many lawyers who specialize in acquittal defense to come up with a few acquittal verdicts. Lawyer Wang Silu even thinks that lawyers have gained a lot. The second instance changed the sentence to death, and the life-saving acquittal cases can be written in books. So why are there so few acquittals in China? First, pre-trial acquittal filters. The domestic judicial system is the Public Security Bureau, and the three handle criminal cases in stages. For a criminal case to be prosecuted in court, it needs to go through the stages of criminal case filing, arrest, review and prosecution, etc. before it can be handed over to the court for trial. Of the 100 parties, criminal suspects, and defendants, 90 were acquitted during the investigation stage. The cases were completed by not approving the arrest and withdrawing the cases. Nine of them were completed through incorrect means during the review and prosecution stage, and only one was withdrawn through the acquittal judgment at the court stage. Since most of the innocent cases have been filtered through pre-trial defense methods , Of course, there are really not many cases that can enter the trial stage. Yes, the public security organs and prosecutors have intercepted more than 99% of the innocent cases that can enter the court. Don’t underestimate the professional capabilities of our case handling agencies. They are normal Under such circumstances, it is still possible to withdraw the officer's second sentence, prosecute, and filter the case. Even if it enters the court, the judge will have difficulty in making a not guilty verdict. The reason for self-defense was fully demonstrated in the Ou case in the drama "Port Town" in Huidong County that I handled last year. When we came out, the trial effect was obvious. It was obvious that it was difficult to convict the case. We waited for several months, but what we received was a ruling from the court. The procuratorate had major changes in the existing evidence, and there was no need to hold the defendant criminally responsible. , the court ruled to allow the procuratorate to withdraw the case. I can only express my satisfaction. In fact, I feel more sad that the not guilty verdict was wasted. The year before last, I handled the case of Le Mou obstructing official duties, and the case that was moved for retrial was withdrawn by the procuratorate. , what else can the lawyer say, but they won’t give you a verdict of not guilty, and the defense lawyer still has to persuade the family to give up the appeal. A judge once said bluntly that he would not tell me that they basically would not acquit you, and usually suggested that the procuratorate withdraw the prosecution. How much more can be left after the secondary filter of withdrawing the prosecution? Innocence case 3. Find a reason to look down on the guilt. You can meet the judge who suggested that the procuratorate withdraw the prosecution. He is also a noble person of our lawyers. More judges know that they are innocent. In this case, in order to avoid state compensation due to unjust, false or wrongful convictions, we simply find a reason to convict lightly. Firstly, it is not a wrongful conviction, so there is no need for state compensation or responsibility. Secondly, the vast majority of the parties do not dare to fight to the death and change the crime to a lighter sentence. Downgrading the sentence to a lighter sentence, imposing a suspended sentence, and exempting from criminal punishment have become many judges' alternatives to acquittal. I handled the 1.69 billion RMB loan fraud case in Shenzhen this year through this alternative, changing the crime to illegal. The sentence for the business crime was one year and ten months. After discussing with the client, the defense lawyer had no choice but to accept it. Since he was defending not guilty, it became a rational choice for the lawyer to fight for a guilty verdict4. He had no intention of creating an unjust case and found an excuse to violate the guilty party. The judge is still the lucky heart of our lawyers. If we encounter a judge who is on my turf and I call the shots, he ignores the loopholes in the evidence, ignores the logical relationship, and directly creates an unjust, false and erroneous case. That is the tragedy of criminal defense. In recent years, I have often encountered lawyers who clearly have The innocence and reasons were fully explained, and the trial effect was very good. The lawyer's opinion of innocence was well-founded, but it was frustrating when the judge used his opinions and even ideas as the basis for conviction and sentencing. Of course, most judges have no intention of causing injustice. False and wrongful convictions, first, are just because they lack legal thinking. For example, they use civil and commercial legal thinking, such as inner conviction and a high degree of probability, to determine that the defendant is guilty or use inability to exclude reasonable doubt as a method of incriminating rather than a method of proving guilt. This leads to situations where people are convicted or even guilty of a felony even though they are clearly innocent. Some judges, out of simple concepts of good and evil, believe that they cannot let a bad person go. Once the defendant cannot prove their innocence, they think they are guilty, and even go too far. The defendant is required to bear an unreasonable burden of proof, especially in private cases such as rape, which has led to a series of tragedies
