i don't think i have to tell you this, but criminal liability is not something to be messed with.
i think in sg if you can't afford a lawyer, the State will appoint one? don't quote me on this, but if i'm not mistaken, the State does not have a very large Office of Public Defenders. so, it's quite likely that they'll get a reasonably experienced litigator to handle your case. if you really can't afford a lawyer, that might be the way. -

For free legal service.. perhaps can try to visit this five Booths from 2pm at VivoCity this saturday and Sunday.. an exhibition and informal panel discussions on the four areas of law.
The Law society's new Pro Bono Services office which opened on first August, is starting a year-long pilot project to offer free legal services for people who cannot afford the fees.
The first clinic will been opened on Monday, Sept 10 in the rent-free premises of North-West Community Development council. -

Do you have a job?
Do you have a handphone?
What are the incomes of your siblings?
You need to be down and out to be entitled to legal aid in Singapore.
Own four room flat, really got no money, sorry, no legal aid for you. -
the accused is my father not me..we(me,sis and mum) are trying to find help..damn stressed and exhausted..had spent around $30k to bail him out..now had not much of $$ left to engage lawyer..the most $3k..but i heard it's not enough..unless if lucky enough to find lawyers who can negotiate the charges..
the main problem is greed..and he's also being made used by his boss..they had actually sued him for five charges..but only two are so-called approved..one is criminal breach of mistrust and the other is cheating if not wrong..
damn stressed..can't even concentrate at work..next friday is his court hearing..just hope everything will be fine..and we are prepared for the worse..confirmed will be sentenced..he's pleading guilty but hopes to be convict to lighter sentence in view of health problem..

If he is ready to plea guilty, then do not engage the lawyer. In Singapore, it is not a jury system. There is no need to razzle dazzle the jury. The judge is not so stupid as to be affected by the "frills" anyway.Originally posted by depressed_80:the accused is my father not me..we(me,sis and mum) are trying to find help..damn stressed and exhausted..had spent around $30k to bail him out..now had not much of $$ left to engage lawyer..the most $3k..but i heard it's not enough..unless if lucky enough to find lawyers who can negotiate the charges..

In the judge's mind, if you plea guilty then you are guilty. Therefore what your father can do is to throw himself at the mercy of the court.
He will be given a chance to say his mitigation.
During his mitigation, he must express sincerity in acknowledging his "crime".
Say: "I now know I have committed a crime. I should have been more careful and be certain that I have not broken any laws. I am just an employee in the company and I have to follow instructions.
I am sorry your honor, please be merciful with me. I am a first time offender. I plea that you do not give me a jail sentence so that I have a better chance to reform myself and integrate myself back into society."
Be clear, concise, sincere and do not add salt and pepper to what I have instructed you to say unless you can fully justify what you think you should add to my instructions.
and sorry about your troubles... -
Frankly, it's best to get a lawyer if possible.
If i'm not mistaken, in Singapore, the legal practice is more on the side of advocacy by persuasion. It is more subdued and is very much unlike the court room dramas which depict the American courts.
You really have to be careful of your submissions and the like, and a lawyer may be able to help persuade the judge for a suspended sentence, or a less severe conviction.
There truly is tons of case law to go through, with precendents, and legislation and the like. It will be fairly difficult to get through it all on your own, especially if you are unfamiliar with the process. -
