oikeudenkäymiskaava

Oikeudenkäymiskaava, often referred to as the "prosecution plan" or "indictment plan," is a document prepared by the prosecution in a criminal case. It outlines the prosecution's case against the defendant, including the charges, evidence, and arguments. The purpose of the oikeudenkäymiskaava is to guide the court and the defense in understanding the prosecution's position and to ensure that the trial proceeds efficiently and fairly.

The document typically includes a summary of the facts of the case, the legal basis for the charges, and the evidence that the prosecution intends to present. It may also include arguments on how the evidence supports the charges and how the defense's arguments are to be addressed. The oikeudenkäymiskaava is not a transcript of the prosecution's speech but rather a strategic tool to organize the prosecution's case.

In Finland, the oikeudenkäymiskaava is a crucial part of the criminal justice system. It is prepared by the prosecution and reviewed by the court before the trial begins. The defense is provided with a copy of the oikeudenkäymiskaava, allowing them to prepare their own arguments and challenges. The document helps to ensure that both the prosecution and the defense are on the same page regarding the key issues of the case.

After the trial, the oikeudenkäymiskaava may be used as a reference in the sentencing phase. It provides the court with a clear overview of the prosecution's case, which can be helpful in determining the appropriate sentence. The document is also a valuable tool for appeals, as it can help to clarify the prosecution's position and the evidence presented during the trial.
