刑事审判中对贫穷者的司法援助

由于财富上的差距,美国宪法第六条修正案的规定——刑事被告人有请律师出庭辩护的权利,成为了贫穷者无力支付的奢侈品。从1932年鲍威尔案、1938年约翰逊案、1942年贝茨案、1963年吉迪恩案,直到1972年的阿杰辛格案,经历了一个180多年的宪政历程,美国对弱势群体的保护取得了实质性的进步。刑事审判中对弱势群体权利的保护,已经成为衡量一国人权保护程度的重要标准之一,而中国刑事法律中对弱势群体保护的规定很不完善,因此,笔者建议在法律中明确规定弱势群体的律师辩护权,兑现公民神圣的宪法权利。

The Judicial Assidence for the Criminal Who Live in Poverty

The Constitutional Law rule that the criminal are entitled to retain lawyer to defend for themselves.However,the poor can't afford it and it's very luxurious for them.The states have a material progress o- ver 180 years according to Powell v.Alabama in 1932,Johnson v.Zerbst in1938,Betts v.Brady in 1942,Argersinger v.Hamlin in 1972.The pro- tect for the criminal who live in poverty have been one of the standard of weighing the scale of the human right in one country.As we all know, our criminal law is not perfect for protecting the poor.Therefore I suggest the law should rule the right of the poor personal to protect the sanctitude consititutional right.
