司法公正与政治文明——冤案成因的深层思考

The judicature justice and political civilization---A deep reflection on the causes of unjust cases

佘祥林冤案又一次使司法的公正问题成为人们强烈关注的话题。刑讯逼供,有罪推定,先定后审,违法办案等司法中的痼疾无疑是导致司法不公、造成冤案的直接原因。而这些司法痼疾难以根绝。乃因为现实的权力结构和体制上的弊端为其提供了生存的土壤。实现司法公正不仅有待于司法制度在立法上的进一步完善,更需要政治文明和公权领域的法治建设为司法创造一个良好的社会环境,使司法摆脱权力场中个人功利和超司法的游戏规则的纠缠,获得完全独立、中立、公正的品格。

The present situation of judicature justice is not only waiting for further improvement, but it also requires the political civilization and the law - governing construction of the authority fields to build a proper social environment for judicature, so that it can get rid of the tangling of individual utility and of super - judicature game rules, and gain the character of being completely independent, neutral and just.
