accusation
If the public prosecutor assumes that the investigation gives rise to sufficient suspicion, it will accusation raise. The prosecution sends the indictment to the court for review and the so-called Intermediate proceedings will be opened. If you do not respond to the indictment, you will be summoned to the main hearing, where you as the defendant will have to answer for the alleged facts.
If I receive a charge, what can I do for you?
- In principle, you have three weeks to raise objections to the opening of the main proceedings after the charges have been served. Please contact me immediately upon receipt of any indictment.
- I will first apply to the court to inspect the files.
- I will use the witness statements, photos, sketches and statements in the investigation file that you may have made at the scene of the crime. the police officer - here too you have a comprehensive right to remain silent! - evaluate.
- I will discuss the findings from the investigation file with you and define the further defense strategy with you.
- I will regularly - in coordination with you - work towards a non-admission of the main proceedings, so that there will be no court hearing.
Possibly With the delivery of the indictment, you will have the opportunity to appoint a so-called public defender. If you do not react to this, the court will assign "some" lawyer as public defender. So contact me as soon as possible.
