Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict. How does this work in practice? Does this mean that I have to collect evidence of my innocence myself if a criminal case is opened against me?
If the prosecutor has appealed the acquittal of the first instance court and the appellate court has left it unchanged, can the prosecutor file a cassation appeal against this verdict? What should I do if I believe that the acquittal of the accused in a criminal offense was made illegally?
I am a defendant in a criminal case and my lawyer has filed an appeal, but it contains deficiencies. If I refuse the services of a lawyer, will I be able to correct these deficiencies myself and will the appellate court consider my appeal?
If during a criminal case an expert gave a knowingly false conclusion, can the defense demand compensation for the damage caused?
