rikosjuttuihin

Rikosjuttuihin refers to a specific type of legal proceeding in Finland, where the prosecution presents a case to the court without the accused person's defense. This type of proceeding is often used in cases where the prosecution believes the evidence is overwhelming, or when the accused person is unable to present a defense due to various reasons such as lack of evidence, lack of time, or the accused person's absence. The purpose of rikossjutut is to expedite the legal process and to ensure that justice is served efficiently. The court will then decide whether the accused person is guilty or not guilty based on the evidence presented by the prosecution. It is important to note that rikossjutut are not commonly used in Finland, and the vast majority of cases are handled through regular criminal proceedings where both the prosecution and the defense have the opportunity to present their arguments.
