Criminal Procedure Law requires the court to hear all evidence and not convict until they are certain that the accused committed the crime and that the accused was guilty. But according to the Criminal Procedure Code, section 176, paragraph one, gives the court the power to discretion not to take evidence before convicting the defendant who confessed. If the offense has a minimum imprisonment rate of less than 5 years or an offense for which the minimum imprisonment rate is not specified, therefore, the provisions of section 176 paragraph one should be amended. So that serious and highly punishable crimes are screened and examined to find out the truth from the courts in the same standard according to the true intent of the law.
