The direct summons to trial is a procedural act used in criminal proceedings that allows the public prosecutor to request the defendant's appearance directly before the judge, without going through the preliminary hearing. This tool is provided for less serious offenses, where the law deems a quicker assessment of criminal responsibility sufficient.
The direct summons to trial is used in cases of offenses for which a penalty not exceeding a certain limit is provided, such as administrative offenses or crimes punishable by imprisonment for a maximum of four years or in specific cases. This procedure helps streamline the judicial workload and accelerate the timing of justice.
"The defense is an inalienable right of the defendant, and it is the duty of the criminal lawyer to ensure that this right is exercised in the most effective way possible."
An experienced criminal lawyer is essential to navigate the complexities of the direct summons to trial. From preparing the defense to representation in court, professional legal support is crucial to ensure that the rights of the defendant are respected and that every favorable element is adequately presented.
