刑事证明责任分配新探

New Perspective on Distribution of Criminal Burden of Proof

罗森贝克通过对实体法规范的精细分析,提出了证明责任分配的学说———规范说。罗氏从实体法入手研究证明责任分配的方法对我国刑事证明责任分配的研究具有启发意义。我国刑法规范之间存在着犯罪构成要件规范与阻却犯罪成立规范的对立,从重处罪规范与从轻、减轻、免除处罚规范的对立。我国刑事证明责任的一般原则应是控辩双方应对有利于己方的刑事法律规范规定的要件事实承担证明责任。

Rosen Beck brought out his theory of distributing burden of proof , theory of regulation, through precise analysis on written laws and regulations. The way in which Rosen made research enlightens the research in this area in China. Regulations concerning constitutive elements of crime exist along with those concerning hindering a crime from establishing, as do regulations concerning heavier punishment along with those concerning lighter punishment, mitigation of penalty below the minimum statutory prescript and remission of punishment. In this article, the author holds that in China, the general principle of criminal burden of proof should be in this way where the two parties each shoulder the burden of providing necessary facts favorable to themselves.
