佘祥林冤案的刑事诉讼制度反思

佘祥林冤案的发生说明我国的刑事诉讼制度存在缺陷。我国刑事诉讼中公检法三机关互相配合的制度设计违背了诉讼的本来含义,作为“裁判方”的人民法院与作为控方的公安机关、人民检察院不应是互相配合的关系。刑讯逼供是导致冤案的重要根源,遏制刑讯逼供应对症下药:一是规定沉默权制度;二是将案件证明标准由“案件事实清楚,证据确实、充分”改为“排除合理怀疑”;三是加强社会治理,健全客观证据生成机制。此外,刑事诉讼法应明确程序法律责任,以促使公检法机关严格遵守诉讼程序。

A Reflection on She Xianglin unjust case in the frame of criminal justice system

The She xianglin unjust case demonstates the defection existing in Chinese criminal justice system.The mutual-cooperation relationship among Public Security Organs,the Peoples's Procuratorate office,the Pelple's Court violates the original meaning of justice.As an arbitrator,the Pelple's Court should not cooperate with the the prosecutor of criminal justice,that is,the public security organs and Procuratorate office.Confession by torture is the root of unjust cases.In order to solve the problems of torture,we must establish the right to keep silent in the statute,change the proof standard from "the facts should be clear and the evidence should be reliable and sufficient" to "beyond any reasonable doubt",enhance the system of social regualation and perfect the creation system of objective evidence.In addition,the procedural legal liability should be confirmed in the criminal justice law,which will enforce the judicial organizations to obey the judicial process strictly.
