彝族地区“人命案”刑事司法的最佳本土模式——读《彝族本土刑法与国家刑法的司法实践对比分析》一文有感兼与马林英教授等商榷

THE BEST LOCAL MODE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE OF “DEATH CASE” IN YI AREAS——Review on “A Comparative Analysis on Yi Ethnic People's Local Criminal Law and Judicial Practice of the State Criminal Law” by Professor Ma Linying et al.and Discussion with Its Aut

马林英教授等撰写的《彝族本土刑法与国家刑法的司法实践对比分析——以凉山彝族农村人命案司法实践为例》一文,肯定了彝族民间刑法及刑事司法对"人命案"处理的合理性。笔者的分析指出,从实体法角度,彝族刑法对"人命案"犯罪构成和刑事责任的界定存在不合法且不合情理之处;从程序法角度,本土刑事司法程序不能很好保障"人命案"被告人的基本诉讼权利。在此基础上,提出彝族地区"人命案"刑事司法最佳本土模式的可能方向是,构建与彝族传统司法接轨的刑事和解机制。

Professor Ma Linying et al.confirmed the rationality of the treatment of 'death case' by Yi folk criminal law and criminal justice in their paper entitled 'A Comparative Analysis on Yi Ethnic People's Local Criminal Law and Judicial Practice of the State Criminal Law'.This article analyzes the argument of Professor Ma Linying et al.and pointed out that,from the perspective of substantive law,there is illegality and unconscionability in the constitution of crime and criminal responsibility of 'death case' as defined by Yi folk criminal law;from the perspective of procedural law,the local criminal judicial process is not sufficient to well protect the basic litigation rights of the 'death case' defendant.Based on these analyses,the author puts forward that one possible direction to the best local mode of criminal justice of the 'death case' in Yi areas should construct criminal reconciliation mechanism which is bridged with Yi traditional judicial practice.
