Advocate Grigor Shahverdyan considers that primary problems of the current Criminal procedure legislation are the arrest conditions: “There is a concept if you have a major suspect, then it is enough to arrest that individual. Do you imagine how dangerous it is? This is the same when 9 people are around in a place where 5 of them fight, but the others are like observers. But the law enforcement officers say if you were present, then there is a grounded doubt that you participated in the fight and you can be arrested. Disadvantages are numerous and practically do not work,” mentioned the advocate.
The next problem, according to him is the evidence consignation institute. The lawyer said the defendant disputed the introduction of evidence deposition, which, according to him, will cause problems in practice.
The advocate considered especially controversial the introduction of the defendant’s evidence consignation, which will result in problems in practice.
