Some thoughts on admitting guilt and accepting punishment

The literal meaning of admitting guilt and accepting punishment is simple, and the criminal suspect has no objection to the facts of the crime charged by the public prosecution organs and the sentencing recommendation made. The plea system is a good thing for the parties, after all, the confession is lenient. The question lies in whether the criminal suspect is guilty or not, whether the sentence is reasonable, and if the answer is yes, there is naturally no problem in admitting guilt and accepting punishment. Many criminal suspects have no concept in their hearts about whether their actions constitute a crime and whether they are appropriate to receive the corresponding punishment before hiring a lawyer. So in the case that the parties have already admitted guilt and accepted punishment, can things still turn around, and what can the lawyer do? First of all, we have to mention a point, there is no self-recognition in criminal cases. Moreover, the defender has an independent right of defence. Even if the parties have admitted guilt and accepted punishment, lawyers should investigate the evidence when the current evidence does not meet the statutory standard of proof, and issue an independent defense opinion that is beneficial to the parties. Therefore, like in a criminal case, whether it is a party or a lawyer, it cannot be given up lightly, and what is given up is not money and other finances, but proper personal freedom.
