论口供的补强规则

The Corroborating Rule of the Oral Confession

口供补强规则是证据补强规则之一种,是指当案件主要依照口供定案的时候,法律要求必须以其它证据补充口供的证明力。口供补强规则的价值在于确保口供的真实性以及防止刑讯逼供。我国刑事诉讼法有关于证据补强的规定,但是缺乏操作性的规定。应当从被补强口供的性质、补强证据的性质、补强的范围与程度、错误补强的法律后果等方面来进一步加以细化。

The corroborating rule of the oral confession is a sort of evidence corroborating rule. When a case will be decided on a verdict mainly tied to oral confession, it will be asked in law that there must be some other evidence to reinforce the probative force of the oral confession. The value of this rule is to insure the truth and prevent exacting a confession by torture. In our Criminal Procedure Law, there are some regulations about corroborating rule, while there are no operation regulations. We should consummate this rule through introducing the nature of s oral confession corroborated and corroborating evidence, the scope and extent of corroboration, and the legal consequences of the wrongly corroboration.
