In short
On a charge paper for intentional injury, the name of the offence and the claim that the act was committed intentionally are read first. Whether a result directed at the body is written on the same paper is a separate line. This name is not put in place of a negligence file in a traffic accident. The forensic report carries the finding and the date; it is not the court's ruling. You do not open a statement before you have seen these lines.
The name of the offence on the top line
The paper that reaches you may be investigation papers, or it may be an indictment that has been accepted. The top line writes the name of the act charged against you. If it says intentional injury, the reading starts from that name. Under it stand whom the act was directed at, which day is alleged, and whether intent is stated separately. If the date is blank, do not add a date. If the name of the person addressed is blank, do not complete a name. Which city the file was opened in does not fill in a missing name.
In the investigation your capacity is suspect. After the indictment is accepted, the capacity becomes accused. When the capacity changes, read the top line again. Look at whether the act, the person addressed, and the intent sentence are still the same three. Defence counsel is present for this reading. Your silence does not mean you have admitted intent. If the file number on the summons and the number on the charge paper differ, do not treat the second number as part of this act.
The complaint petition and the charge paper may not carry the same sentence. If the petition says "assault" and the top line says "intentional injury", the name that is read is the top line. An everyday word in the petition does not itself change the name of the offence. The two papers stand side by side. In your statement, do not put the petition's word in place of the top line.
As you start reading, separate five things from the paper: the file number, the name of the offence, the person the act was directed at, the day, and whether the intent sentence is written. If this set of five is incomplete, do not complete the missing line from memory. The complainant's account stands separately on the file. That account is an allegation, not a ruling that stands in for the top line. If the word in the account and the top line conflict, note both. The statement is not a text in which you have to repeat the complainant's sentence.
The intent sentence stands apart from the result sentence
The intent line is the allegation that an act directed at the body was committed intentionally. That the paper says "was injured" does not itself build this line. If only the result is written, do not paste the result in place of intent. The result is the allegation that pain was felt, or that health or perception was impaired. If these words are on the paper, the result is looked for there. If they are not, do not build a sentence as if there were a result.
If a second offence name appears on the same papers, each name stays on its own line. An offence by words is not part of the bodily charge. Insult is not opened in this reading. How the contact was made is not looked for either. What you read is whether the intent sentence and the result sentence stand side by side. One does not complete the other. If the two sentences conflict, do not close the conflict with your own guess. The conflict stays on the file as two separate sentences.
If more than one person is written as a suspect, each person is read from their own act sentence. Standing beside someone does not mean intent was written against you. If the paper does not say whom it ties the act to, do not build that tie yourself. A sentence written as joint and a sentence written against one person are not the same allegation. Whichever is on the top line is the one that is read.
Which line the forensic report carries
The forensic report carries the finding and the report date. A medical word in the report is not a sentence of conviction. If a simple medical intervention, or a heavier expression, appears, that expression is not treated as the ruling itself. A finding does not itself establish intent. If there is no finding, do not complete the result yourself. If there is a finding, intent is not treated as established either.
The report date is not put in place of the date of the act. If the two dates differ, both stand. One day is not built by deleting one of them. The report is not the sequence the complainant followed at the hospital. If you are the suspect, you read the report as a document that stands on the file. If the report and the charge conflict, do not invent the missing sentence.
If a photograph or an additional writing is attached to the report, the annex does not change the report's concluding sentence. The word the concluding sentence ends with is the word that is read. A complaint that appears in the annex is not added to the finding line if it was not written as a finding in the report. If the report says "could not be determined", the finding line stays open. Do not write a finding onto an open line.
If an aggravated circumstance is written separately
The paper may have written a separate circumstance sentence beside the basic charge. That sentence is read apart from the basic line. If the circumstance is not written, do not choose a case from a list and add it. Which circumstance aggravates is not completed unless it is written on the paper. The circumstance sentence is not a description of how the act was done. You are not forced, in the statement, to describe that manner. Defence counsel separates whether the circumstance sentence exists from the top line.
If there is more than one circumstance sentence, each stays on its own line. A new name is not produced by joining the sentences. A circumstance is not itself the same thing as a medical word in the forensic report. The report writes a finding. The circumstance is a sentence the charge paper alleges separately. If the two conflict, both stand. At this stage the conflict is not turned into a result sentence for you or against you.
If the circumstance sentence carries the word "weapon" or a similar word, that word is the allegation the paper wrote. If the word is not there, do not add it. If the word is there, this is still not a description of how the act was established. What is read is whether the circumstance is a line separate from the basic charge. If a witness did not use that word, the witness account and the circumstance line stay side by side. The witness account does not delete the circumstance line. Do not put the witness's sentence in place of the circumstance line either.
A traffic paper is not the name of this charge
A negligence charge directed at a driver in a traffic accident is a different reading. In that file, fault, speed, and the scene are looked for. Its place is the criminal file after an accident page. This page does not open the scene minute, the speed record, or the insurance line. If your paper says intentional injury, do not carry a negligence heading here. If the paper says negligence, do not paste the intent sentence in this reading onto it. Even if a vehicle was part of the event, the name is taken from the top line.
The general counterpart of a complaint is on the I have been complained of page. Only the intentional-injury line is read here. If a protective measure has been issued, the measure does not mean the result is established. The frame of the measure sits under judicial control. Do not add the list of obligations to this paper. The measure decision does not stand in for the forensic report either. A word that appears in the measure's reasoning does not change the intent sentence of the charge paper.
A statement is not opened before these lines are seen
A statement is not opened before the charge sentence, and the report if there is one, have been read. The preparatory face of the rights is on the before giving a statement page. This page does not repeat that list. Do not fill in contact you do not remember with the sentence the other side expects. The minute is read to you before you sign. A word that did not pass into the minute is not treated as existing because of the signature. An annex stands only if it is written in the minute.
Separate three things in the statement. The first is the act the paper charges against you. The second is what you remember of that moment. The third is the gap you do not remember. A gap is not closed by guessing. Defence counsel sees that you do not melt the intent line and the result line into each other in the statement. If the indictment is served later, the top line is read again. Service does not itself change the intent sentence of the statement given in the investigation. If a circumstance sentence appears on the new paper, that sentence is not treated as having been said inside the old statement.
If a second statement is asked for on the same day, read the first minute again first. Contact that is not in the first minute is not added to the second minute with "I had already said that". A sentence you did not say does not stand on the file. A signature does not mean you accepted a line you did not read. Ask about a medical word you do not understand, without rebuilding the report's concluding sentence in your own mouth. If the question asked goes outside the intent line, first separate which line you are answering.
Conclusion
An intentional-injury paper is read by placing the name of the offence, the intent sentence, and the bodily result side by side. The report is a finding, not a ruling. If there is no circumstance line, it is not added. A negligent accident file is a separate paper. The frame is on the criminal law page. The lines on your paper can be read together with the file through contact. The basis is the text of the Turkish Penal Code No. 5237 and the Code of Criminal Procedure No. 5271.
