证人证言与证人证据属性之我见

View on the Testimony of Witness and the Attribution of Evidence

我国刑事诉讼法第42条规定证人证言是一种证据。但由于将证人证言作为证据存在着不可解决的理论和实践问题,因此对证人证言及证人证据属性的重新分析和定位很有必要。通过对证人证言与证据定义之间的比较、其证据属性与证据必有属性之间的比较以及其表现形式与其他证据种类的表现形式的比较,对证人证言不具有作为证据应有的证据属性和表现形式进行了论述,最后得出证人才是证据的结论。

According to the 42nd regulation of criminal procedure law of China, Witness' testimony is a kind of evidence. However, witness's testimony as evidence stores a lot of theoretical and practical problems that couldn't be solved in, so it is very necessary to reanalyze and verify the testimony and the attribution of evidence. Through the comparison of the testimonies of witness and definition of evidence, the attribution of evidence and the necessary attribution of evidence, and the expression of testimony evidence and other kinds of evidential forms, the author discuses that the testimony of witness doesn't have the attribution and expression of evidence. Finally, this article comes to the conclusion that the witness is the evidence.
