关于证人出庭作证的几点看法

证人特别是重要证人能否出庭咋证,既是人民法院能否准确认定事实、能否定案的关键,又是刑事诉讼的审判方式改革能否得到有效实施的前提。证人不出庭作证的原因主要是制度不健全和法治意识淡漠。因此,应从完善证人出庭作证的制度入手,同时创造有利的化氛围,并以法律手段确保证人的安全,从而使证人出庭作证变“被动”为“主动”。

A Few Points about Witness's Appearance in Court

Whether a witness,especially an important witness,can appear in court not only decides whether people's court can correctly recognize the facts and reach a conclusion on a case,but is also a premise of whether the reform of judicial method in criminal suit can be effectively carried out.A witness does not appear in court because the system is not perfect and because people are indifferent to the idea of ruling by law.Therefore,we should first perfect the system of witness appearing in court;at the same time,we should also create cultural atmosphere and ensure the security of the witness through legal means so as to turn the witness"passive"appearance into"active"appearance in court.
