试析刑事司法中的民怜因素——以邓玉娇案为视角

An Analysis of the Factor of People’s Pity in Criminal Justice:From the Perspective of Deng Yujiao Case

民怜是民意的一种,是对犯罪行为人的同情、怜悯的情绪,是人们悲天悯人情怀的表达,有其合理性一面,与宽严相济的刑事政策亦存在契合之处。对于民怜因素,需在法治框架下高度重视网络舆情对司法工作的冲击,牢固树立程序与实质并重的司法观,适当吸收民众代表与陪审团等制度的合理内核,使民怜既能从程序的层面充分表达,又能在制度的管道内不致左右司法。

As a kind of public opinion,people＇s pity is sympathy for the offender,and an expression of compassionate feelings.It has its rational side,so it fits to the criminal policy with leniency and strictness to some extent.Therefore,we need to attach great importance to the impact of public opinion on the internet on judicial work under the rule of law,firmly establish the judicial view,in which procedures and substance are equally important,and absorb properly the rational core of the public representatives and jury system,so that people＇s pity can be fully expressed at the procedure level,but does not interfere justice in the system.
