QUESTIONING THE WITNESSES

PROSECUTION WITNESS EVALUATION

Legal Background

Chinese law allows the criminal defender to:

  1. Conduct an independent investigation to verify the evidence collected by the public security organ and prosecution (CPL Article 37)
  2. Cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses (CPL Article 47, 156)
  3. Use evidence to impeach the prosecution's witnesses (CPL Article 157, 159, 160)

This form will assist you to evaluate and prepare your defense against the statements of the prosecutor's witnesses.
