Expeditious procedures for crimes committed during the trial
This article focuses on special expeditious procedures for crimes committed during the trial. Two types of such procedures were analyzed: amendment of the indictment for crimes of the accused, which were either committed or discovered during the trial; and, procedure for charges raised by other persons for the first time during the trial. The author analyzes the conditions, basic features and limits of these procedures, as well as how to choose the appropriate expeditious procedure and provide adequate protection of the accused. The analysis is followed by pro et contra arguments. These procedures can be easily justified by principles of rationality and crime prevention policy. Not only do they prevent unnecessary expenses for the criminal justice system, but they also facilitate sentencing and efficient crime prevention. The commission of a criminal offense in the courtroom is insolent behavior, which can be successfully prevented by providing possibility to initiate a trial on the spot.
