认罪认罚案件量刑建议精准化与法院采纳

精准化的量刑建议契合认罪认罚案件的特点和速审要求,有利于诉讼的稳定性和裁判的安定性。在认罪认罚案件中,法院的量刑裁判权没有根本改变,但量刑建议是控辩协商的合意,具有司法公信力,对法院的裁判形成一定的拘束:一是除法定例外情形,法院应当采纳量刑建议;二是即使量刑建议有些许偏差,但非明显不当,法院也需保有宽容度和容错性,采纳量刑建议;三是对于认罪认罚案件中量刑建议明显不当的,法院仍需受到程序性约束,不能直接裁判,而是建议检察机关先行调整量刑建议。未来,法院应更新认识、转变观念,自觉接受认罪认罚案件中量刑建议的必要约束。同时,检察机关也应与法院协同推进量刑指导意见的罪名扩充和内容完善;保障辩方权利,增强量刑协商中控辩双方的对等性,确保协商的有效性;加强量刑建议的文书说理;不断提升量刑建议的质量和公信力,以增加法院的认可度和采纳率。

Accuracy of Sentencing Recommendation and Court Adoption in Cases where the Defendant Pleads Guilty and Accepts Punishment

Accurate sentencing recommendation fits the characteristics and speedy trial requirements of cases where the defendant pleads guilty and accepts punishment and is conducive to the stability of the lawsuit and the judgment.In the case where the defendant pleads guilty and accepts punishment,the court’s sentencing power is not changed,but the sentencing recommendation is the consensus of the prosecution and the defense and has judicial credibility,forming a certain constraint on the court’s sentencing power.Firstly,except for statutory exceptions,the court should adopt sentencing recommendation.Secondly,if the sentencing recommendation is slightly deviated,but not obviously inappropriate,the court should maintain fault tolerance and adopt the sentencing recommendation.Thirdly,when the sentencing recommendation is obviously inappropriate,the court must also be subject to procedural constraints and cannot judge directly.It should advise the procuratorate to adjust the sentencing proposal first.In the future,the court should update their understanding,change their minds,and consciously accept the necessary constraints on sentencing recommendation in cases where the defendant pleads guilty and accepts punishment.At the same time,the procuratorate should also work with the court to improve the Sentencing Guidance,safeguard the rights of the defense,enhance the equality between the prosecution and the defense in sentencing consultations,and ensure the effectiveness of the negotiations.The procuratorate should also strengthen the rationale of sentencing recommendation and constantly improve the quality and credibility of sentencing suggestions to increase court acceptance and adoption.
