无罪辩护效果实证分析

Empirical Analysis of the Effect of Non Guilty Defense

辩护效果是考察无罪辩护的重要指标。实证研究表明,无罪辩护效果可能表现为侦查阶段的销案,起诉阶段的不诉和审判阶段的无罪判决、撤诉等,呈现出独特的中国面貌。一方面,由于无罪处理制度空间狭小及不当的辩护策略等因素使得我国的无罪辩护效果很差,无罪辩护意见很难被官方采纳,其中以无罪判决尤为明显;另一方面,律师的努力和官方在法律与外部压力之间的能动作用,使得无罪辩护对刑事案件的处理产生一定影响,表现为对起诉阶段案件定性及审判阶段量刑的影响。

Defense effect is an important indicator of non guilty defense. Empirical studies show that non guilty defense demonstrates distinct Chinese characteristics by manifesting the close of a legal case at investigation stage,non-prosecution at prosecution stage and sentence of not guilty and nol-pros at trial stage. On the one hand,non guilty defense usually cannot have ideal effects,and the accused can rarely get an advocacy of innocence,let alone non guilty sentence because of the little space for non guilty disposition and the undeserved defense strategies. On the other hand,non guilty defense produces effects on criminal cases under the dynamic role between the defense counsel and the judicial personnel,which is shown by the effect on measurement of penalty at prosecute and trial stages.
