无罪推定与刑事判决

Presumption of Innocence and Criminal Verdict

无罪推定原则是刑事诉讼中的核心性原则之一。对无罪推定原则的认识也随着历史的发展而逐步拓展和变化。我国刑事诉讼法中也吸收了无罪推定原则的核心性内容。刑事判决作为刑事程序的重要环节和结果表现形式也必然要遵从无罪推定原则的基本要求。但是当前,不管是在法律文本中,还是在实践中都存在对该原则的异化和背离现象,因此,如何在刑事判决中彻底体现无罪推定的原则精神是刑事诉讼改革的重大课题。

Presumption of Innocence is one of core principles of criminal procedure. The understanding of the criminal procedure changes following the historical development. Chinese Criminal Procedure Law has absorbed the core content of the principle. The criminal verdict must abide by the principle, which is the important element and form of result of criminal procedure. But now, there exist the dissimilation and derivation phenomena in the text and practice. How to embody the spirit of the principle completely is the important issue of reform of criminal procedure.
