强制医疗中精神病人刑事责任能力的认定

精神病人刑事责任能力的认定,是启动强制医疗程序的闸口.由于我国精神病人刑事责任能力认定理论没有统一标准,导致精神病鉴定专家充当了医学裁判和法学裁判的双重角色,对精神病人鉴定程序流于形式.只有明确精神病人的法律定义,发挥法官的自由心证,提前检察机关审查和监督的介入环节,才能使精神病人肇事肇祸事件得到妥善处置.

Only through making clear the legal definition of mental patients, developing judges＇ free evaluation of evidence, and bringing the intervention link of procuratorial organs＇ inspection and supervision in advance can the mental patients＇ troublemaking events be properly disposed.
