In our legal system, such a conviction without trial can occur, in short, only when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the perpetrator voluntarily admits guilt;<\/li>\n<li>the guilt of the perpetrator is not in doubt;<\/li>\n<li>the circumstances of the crime are clear in relation to the perpetrator&#8217;s statements;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the victim, at a later stage of the proceedings, does not object to the application of this solution<\/span> (which is discussed further at the end of this article);<\/li>\n<li>the attitude of the accused indicates that the goals of the proceedings will be achieved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-WR6C0Fkeq  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-WR6C0Fkeq.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}<\/style>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Do you need legal assistance?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-normal-button tatsu-button-wrap align-block block-center  tatsu-hb26jsij598w6ya1   \"><a class=\"tatsu-shortcode largebtn tatsu-button left-icon circular   bg-animation-none  \" href=\"https:\/\/kancelariasurowka.pl\/en\/contact\/\" style= \"\"  aria-label=\"Contact the Lawyer\" data-gdpr-atts={} >Contact the Lawyer<\/a><style>.tatsu-hb26jsij598w6ya1 .tatsu-button{background-color: rgba(255,74,54,1);color: #ffffff ;}.tatsu-hb26jsij598w6ya1 .tatsu-button:hover{background-color: rgba(221,86,72,1);}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJKd21mKLr.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-HJKd21mKLr.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-HJKd21mKLr > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJKd21mKLr > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJKd21mKLr > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJKd21mKLr > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJKd21mKLr.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJKd21mKLr.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJKd21mKLr.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S.tatsu-section{background-color: rgba(243,243,243,1);}.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 112px 0px 90px 0px;}.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rkPdhJmF8S .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-r1j_3yXt8r tatsu-section  tatsu-bg-overlay   tatsu-clearfix\" data-title=\"\"  data-headerscheme=\"background--dark\"><div class='tatsu-section-pad clearfix' data-padding='{\"d\":\"90px 0px 90px 0px\"}' data-padding-top='90px'><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-wrap tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-SyhOh1XYIH\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-bg-overlay tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image-none tatsu-column-effect-none  tatsu-HJp_n1QtLB\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-r1C_2JmK8B  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-r1C_2JmK8B.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}<\/style>\n<h2>Voluntary Submission to Penalty \u2013 What is the Role of the Court?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A factor that ensures that the content of the agreement between the perpetrator and the prosecutor cannot be detached from the realities of the case is that the application for conviction without trial and the details of the agreement, such as the penalty, are reviewed by the <strong>court, which may condition its acceptance of the application on making changes to it<\/strong> (e.g., regarding the type or duration of the penalty), and in case of refusal, it may return the case to the prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The court cannot unilaterally change the agreements made between the accused and the prosecutor<\/strong>. It can only encourage them to modify the terms or refuse to accept the application and return the case to the prosecutor. However, courts can make mistakes, and due to oversight, for example, the duration of the penalty might not be determined. If the court does not notice this oversight and fails to set the duration of the penalty, it may appear that the penalty was imposed for the maximum period, although this does not always align with the realities of the case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For this reason, every verdict, including one issued as a result of DPK, should be reviewed by a competent person to determine the possibility or necessity of filing an appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A very important element in the decision-making process, whether to admit guilt and enter into negotiations with law enforcement, should be considering the likelihood that the victim of the crime (e.g., someone who was beaten, a fraud victim, a person who was robbed, etc.) <strong>will not oppose the conviction of the accused under the terms agreed upon between the accused and the prosecutor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If there is a strong conflict, resentment, or a desire for revenge between the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim, it is highly likely that even relatively strict terms for the accused in the DPK will not be satisfactory to the victim. <strong>It is important to remember that the victim has the power to block conviction without trial (DPK) without providing a reason<\/strong>, even without objectively rational grounds. In such cases, the case is returned to the prosecutor, who will prepare the indictment for \u2013 it cannot be ruled out \u2013 a lengthy trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For these reasons, when preparing to submit an application for voluntary submission to penalty, <strong>it is advisable to also consider the needs of the alleged victim<\/strong>, for example, by offering compensation or restitution for the harm suffered, which can also be negotiated in terms of their scope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It should also be noted that the legislator has provided a solution for the alleged perpetrator who has not reached an agreement with the prosecutor regarding the penalty during the preparatory proceedings, but would like, after the indictment has been submitted to the court, to influence the proceedings and possibly significantly shorten the process, as well as negotiate the penalties to be imposed. This &#8220;emergency solution&#8221; is available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Specifically, under Article 387 \u00a7 1 of the <em>Code of Criminal Procedure<\/em>, the defendant may, under certain circumstances, submit a request for the issuance of a conviction and the imposition of a specific penalty or measure even after the case has been submitted to the court. <strong>However, very importantly, starting from October 1, 2023, due to the amendment to the <em>Code of Criminal Procedure<\/em><\/strong>, even determining the details of the conviction with the court may be insufficient. With the trend of strengthening the prosecutor&#8217;s role in the process and increasingly restrictive regulations concerning the rights of the accused, the acceptance of our application currently also <strong>depends on the prosecutor&#8217;s consent<\/strong> (not just the absence of their objection, as was the case before). Therefore, it is essential to ensure the prosecutor&#8217;s presence at the hearing, which, under current laws, is not necessarily guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUR\u00d3WKA Law Firm professionally handles cases involving <strong>voluntary admission of guilt and submission to penalty<\/strong> as a means of most effectively serving the Client&#8217;s interests. <a href=\"https:\/\/kancelariasurowka.pl\/en\">Attorney Krakow<\/a> Micha\u0142 Sur\u00f3wka <strong>carefully analyzes the Client&#8217;s situation and then develops a solution aimed at ensuring the most optimal benefits in the context of the specific case<\/strong>.
