文本·实践·语境:公诉证据标准的现代性诊断

公诉证据标准与其他配套制度机制一同维护着公诉权的合法性与有效性。一方面,在理论上,公诉证据标准并非一个独立的论题;另一方面,在比较法上,当今中外刑诉制度中的公诉证据标准也没有高下之分,均必须遵从公诉权的合法性与有效性之逻辑。西方法治国家的公诉证据标准辅证了这一制度逻辑。反观我国,当前承担公诉权合法性功能的配套制度机制尚不健全,导致公诉权的合法性只能依赖于较高程度的公诉证据标准和较强程度的犯罪控制能力。在此意义上,理论界对我国现行公诉证据标准过高的批评,似乎未中要害,急于降低我国当前的公诉证据标准,不仅缺乏程序制度基础,而且会挫动公诉权的有效性,并最终损及公诉权的合法性。

Text,Practice,Context:Modern Diagnose on Evidence Criteria of Public Persecution

Evidence criteria of public persecution,with other supporting mechanisms,safeguards the legality and effectiveness of the right of public persecution.On the one hand,evidence criteria of public persecution are not an independent issue in theory;on the other hand,evidence criteria of public persecution in China and foreign countries are not in a common line of good or bad,and all of them obeys the logic of the legality and effectiveness of the right of public persecution.States rule of law in the west justified this logic.In China,since supporting system are not so well established,the legality of the right of public persecution is only attached to high level evidence criteria of public persecution and strong ability of crime control.In this sense,the critics to evidence criteria of public persecution are not appropriate.To lower such criteria lacks procedural basis and harms the effectiveness of the right of public persecution,and destroys the legality of the right of public persecution.
