What should you do when a sentence is absurd and the defendant is a minor? How can you get the appellate court to hear the case? And why can attention to detail change the fate of the defendant?
In the latest installment of the PRO Lawyer column—a high-profile case from the Cherkasy region: an 8-year sentence, the disregard of lawmakers’ guarantees, the absence of an extract from the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, and contradictory expert reports.

Watch until the end, and don’t forget to subscribe—there’s still the appeal, the first trial after the verdict was overturned, and the cassation appeal to come!
