论量刑建议的运行原理与实践疑难破解——基于公诉精密化的本土考察

A Native Review on the Operating Principle and Practical Plight of Suggestion for Sentence:from the Perspective of How to Make Public Prosecution Precise

在我国当前司法环境下,量刑建议制度的提倡与践行不仅可以从程序维度规范审判机关的量刑裁判权,同时也能促进公诉权的精密化,强化检察机关的法律监督权。但该制度的试点与发展也面临着体制与机制上的双重拷问,即司法体制上容易滋生检法冲突,工作机制上也与现行检察机制改革有诸多不协调之处。为减缓痹症、深化改革,未来中国量刑建议制度的完善,应完成以下逻辑转换:制约重点,从自由心证到量刑裁断;适用范围,从简单案件到争议案件;启动主体,从领导决议到主诉决定;建议方式,从概括确定到相对确定;程序参与,从检法合意到量刑辩论。

In current judicial surroundings,suggestion for sentence can not only restrict judges＇ sentencing power from procedural dimension,but also make prosecuting power more precise and strengthen procuratorial organs＇ superintendence.However,the institution is facing with dual plights both in judicial system and operational mechanism.For example,it may bring conflicts between prosecutors and judges and may be out of line from current prosecuting system reform.Accordingly,the institution of suggestion for sentence in China should diverse on the following aspects： the key of restriction,from discretional evaluation of evidence to sentencing discretion;the scope of application,from simple case to complicated case;the starting subject,from leader to undertaker;the manner of suggestion,from general certainty to relative certainty;the mode of participation,from bargain between prosecutors and judges to argument between prosecutors and defenders.
