解读“零口供规则”

The Interpretation of ″the Rule of Zeroing the Accused Statement″

“零口供规则”的初稿中最核心的内容被认为是“沉默权的提出”。几经修改后的《规则》与初稿最大的区别在于不把口供视为零，而是把对口供的依赖降到最低点。犯罪嫌疑人在接受审讯时不再允许其保持沉默，原来的绝对“零口供”演变成了现在的相对“零口供”。“零口供规则”的意义体现在它时我国司法制度提出了预警，使人们再次正视司法实践中屡禁不止的刑讯逼供，以及阻却这一弊端的迫切性。

The raising of remaining silent is regarded as the heart of the draft of the rule of zeroing the accused state ment .The main difference between the draft of the rule and the revised edition is that the latter doesn't treat the accused statement as noth ing any more,but reduces the dependence on the accused statement to the minimum.Ac cord ing to the revised edition,sus-pects aren't allowed to keep silent when they are interrogated,so the rule of zeroing the accused statement becomes rela tive from ab so lute.The meaning of this rule is that it givs our judicial system an early warning,and forces us to face up to either the prob lem of exacting con fession by torture which occurs repeatedly,or the urgency of ob structing the malpractice.
