The article examines the procedural position of the court and the prosecutor in the special trial procedure (Chapter 40 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation). It analyzes the court's responsibilities for verifying the voluntariness of the accused's consent to the charges and the sufficiency of the evidence, as well as the prosecutor's accusatory function in the simplified trial procedure. The author proposes to legally establish the court's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the charges and to preserve the prosecutor's right to reject the special trial procedure if there are any doubts about the defendant's guilt.
