浅析辩诉交易制度

A Brief Analysis of Plea Bargain System

辩诉交易是美国司法实践当中的一种诉讼模式,是指在法院判决前,由检察官和被告人双方进行协商,即检察官向被告人许诺:只要被告人承认有罪,检察官将降格起诉并保证法院也能对被告人判处较低的刑期或较轻的刑种从而结束诉讼。我国对此尚未规定,从其价值角度看这一做法大大缩短了办案时间,又提高了办案效率,我们应有条件地借鉴。

Plea bargain is a litigation mode of judicial practice in America. A plea bargain is any agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and defendant whereby the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a particular charge in return for some concession from the prosecutor. This may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to a less serious charge, or to one of several charges, in return for the dismissal of other charges. Plea bargain has not been stipulated in China. We should conditionally refer to the experience for its value of shortening the lengthy criminal trial and improving the working efficiency.
