Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if called to testify at a police station?
You have the right to be accompanied by a lawyer. Do not testify without legal advice, especially if there is a possibility of being charged. Silence is a right, not an admission of guilt.
What is the difference between a misdemeanour and a felony?
Misdemeanours carry imprisonment up to 5 years, while felonies carry penal servitude (5-15 years or life). The distinction affects court procedure, statute of limitations, and available appeals.
Can a prison sentence be suspended?
Prison sentences up to 3 years can be conditionally suspended or converted to community service or a fine, depending on the circumstances and criminal record.
