量刑辩护程序实证研究

Empirical Study on Sentencing Defense

以H省Q市T区法院2011年实施《关于规范量刑程序若干问题的意见(试行)》以来全年刑事案件为样本的研究发现,量刑辩护多为自行辩护,但被告人文化素质低制约了量刑辩护的效果。由于在量刑辩护中缺乏相应的证明活动,法官对辩护方提出的酌定量刑情节不采纳率相对较高。在相对独立的量刑程序中,无罪辩护与量刑辩护之间的内在矛盾,阻碍了量刑辩护的有效开展。我国相对独立程序的确立在本质上是司法公正向司法效率的妥协,量刑辩护中存在的各种问题需通过建立完全独立的量刑程序、提高律师辩护的比例和质量来解决。

A case study of T district court of Q city in H province , as ＂the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Regulation of Sentencing Procedures （for Trial Implementation）＂ in 2011, we found that sentencing defense mostly for self-defense, but the low qualities defendant restricted effect of sentencing defense. Due to the lack of proof action in sentencing defense, the situation of the judge donnot adopt Sentencing Circumstance is universal. In Relatively-in-dependent Sentencing, the inherent contradictions between innocent defense and sentencing defense hinder the effective conduct of the sentencing defense. The essence of Relatively-in-dependent Sentencing is justice compromise to judicial efficiency. So to slove the question , sentencing defense needs establishment a fully independent sentencing process and enhance the proportion and quality of lawyers.
