量刑证据规则研究

Research on the Evidence Rule of Measurement of Penalty

定罪解决的是犯罪嫌疑人是否构成犯罪的问题,量刑解决的是一个被判处有罪的人所需要承担的刑事责任的问题。在量刑程序中,证明对象不再是定罪事实,而转为量刑事实。传统证据规则的建立主要是为了防止法官的恣意定罪,而量刑证据规则的建立应该以实现量刑的公正、合理为目的。量刑程序的特殊性要求对量刑证据规则重新进行梳理,在证据可采性规则、证明责任分配规则和证明标准等方面建立有别于传统证据规则的量刑证据规则。

Conviction is to solve the problem that if a criminal suspect constitutes a crime ; and sentencing is to solve the problem that a convicted person should bear criminal liabilities. In the procedure of sentencing, the proof object is no longer conviction fact but turns to be sentencing fact. Traditional rules of evidence are established to prevent judges＇ indiscriminate conviction, and sentencing rules of evidence should be established with an aim of achieving just and rational sentencing. The particularity of sentencing procedure requires sorting out the sentencing rules of evidence again. Besides, sentencing rules of evidence different from traditional rules of evidence should be established in respects of rules for evidence admissibility, rules for proof burden distribution and proof standard.
