On the morning of October 29, the People's Procuratorate of Yixiu District, Anqing City, initiated a public prosecution and proposed to apply the fast track procedure of pleading guilty and punishment to four cases, which were collectively heard in the People's Court of Yixiu District.
"In this trial, in addition to the presence of the procurator of Yixiu District People's Procuratorate to support the public prosecution, the heads of the criminal procuratorial departments of the provincial procuratorate and the procuratorates of 16 prefectures and cities also came to the scene to observe and guide." According to Li Dawei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Procurator General of the Anqing People's Procuratorate, in order to further implement the work of quick adjudication of minor criminal cases with guilty plea and punishment, The provincial procuratorate organized to observe this centralized trial activity.

The judgments of the four cases all adopted the charges and sentencing suggestions charged by the public prosecution organ, and the four defendants were also given lenient punishment in sentencing for pleading guilty.
After the trial, all the observers also visited the procuratorial office of Anqing Road Traffic Accident Treatment Comprehensive Service Center assigned by the People's Procuratorate of Yixiu District, and put forward pertinent opinions and suggestions on the operation of the procuratorial office, "one-stop" judicial services and procuratorial products of the law enforcement and case handling center assigned to the public security organs, It believes that the mode of centralized handling of minor criminal cases by the court can significantly shorten the time of handling cases, reduce the burden of litigants and save judicial resources; At the same time, the criminal suspect and the defendant were urged to voluntarily confess their guilt and repent, so that the material and spiritual damage of the victim could be timely relieved and comforted, effectively resolving social conflicts, promoting grassroots social governance, and realizing the organic unity of legal effect and social effect.

Every three to five criminal cases of dangerous driving and traffic accidents in which the public security organ pleads guilty to punishment shall be collectively transferred to the procuratorial organ for examination and prosecution; The procuratorial organ designates the same prosecutor to examine and centrally initiate public prosecution for the batch of cases transferred collectively, and the time limit for handling cases is shortened from one month to less than 10 days; The people's court will hold multiple centralized court sessions for this batch of centrally prosecuted cases, simplify the court trial process, and generally no court investigation and court debate will be conducted. The public prosecutor only needs to issue public prosecution opinions and sentencing suggestions in court, and the court session time will be shortened to less than half an hour.
