Your mitigation lawyer Criminal Defence lawyer in Singapore may send a Letter of Representation during the plea bargaining or plea negotiation process to appeal to the Prosecution to take a more lenient view and approach for your case e.g. to withdraw the charge against you, to charge you for a less serious offence, to charge you with fewer offences, to request for a lighter punishment to be imposed by the Court.
One of the objectives of the Letter of Representation is for your Criminal Defence Lawyers to highlight and emphasise the relevant facts for the Prosecution’s attention which would help to justify taking a more lenient view and approach for your case.
The Prosecution takes into consideration the reasons given by your Criminal Defence Lawyers in your appeal and then decides whether it should be accepted or rejected. Contact us to find out more.
