同案被告口供的证明力研究——补强证据规则的具体运用

The analysis on the probative force of the co-defendant’s confession——How to apply the rule of corroborative evidence

为了防止偏重口供并担保口供的真实性,各国大多设立了补强规则,规定被告人口供需要补强才能定案。在该规定是否适用于共犯口供问题上,尽管理论界通常认为共犯口供同样需要补强才能定案,但司法实践中却将共犯口供作为补强证据来认定犯罪事实。这说明对于共犯口供的证明力不能一概否定,而应具体情况具体分析:同案共犯口供在一般情况下需要补强,但在满足一定条件时可以无需补强直接定案;非同案共犯与同案非共犯口供一般无需补强即可作为定案根据。

In order to avoid over-emphasizing the oral confession and guarantee the reliability of the oral confession.the rule of corroboration iS established, which provides that a verdict can＇t be based on the oral confession alone.The traditional theory holds that a verdict can＇t be based on the accomplices＇confession alone either,but the Judicial organ usually treat he accomplices＇ confession as the corroborative evidence and settle the criminal cases. It means that we can＇t deny the probative force of accomplices＇confession completely and should analyze it in the concrete circumstance.Firstly,a verdict can be based on the confession of accomplices in the same suit if certain terms are satisfied strictly,but the confession of accomplices in the same suits should be co rroborated in general circumstance.Secondly.the confession of accomplices in different suits and the no-accomplices defendants in the same suit needn＇t be corroborated.
