Antonia Sarafin , CED Centre Europe, Romania

Abstract

This paper examines the significance of changing accusations in the first instance under criminal procedure law. It delves into the legal framework surrounding the ability to modify or amend the initial accusation during the early stages of a criminal trial. By analyzing relevant case studies and examining the underlying principles and implications of this practice, the study aims to shed light on the potential impact on justice and the fair administration of criminal proceedings. The research explores the reasons behind changing accusations, the procedural requirements, and the potential consequences for defendants, victims, and the overall legal system. It also highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between ensuring a fair trial and safeguarding the rights of all parties involved. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics and complexities of criminal trials and the role of changing accusations in the pursuit of justice.
