The Feasibility and Limitation of the Criminal Reconciliation in Death Penalty Cases

死刑案件能否刑事和解问题引起了广泛探讨和颇多争议。其理论层面面临着违反传统刑法原则、缺乏法理依据支撑的质疑,实践中以赔偿谅解之形开启死刑和解之实的做法,也因缺乏规范约束而饱受花钱买命的诟病。在当今国际社会高度关注人权,倡导刑罚轻刑化的司法潮流驱动下,迫使人们对传统司法理念进行了重新思考。随着恢复正义理论的出现、罪刑法定原则由绝对向相对的转变、被害人权益被关注等刑事司法理念的变化,加上满足诉讼各方利益、有序规范实践做法、贯彻少杀慎杀死刑政策的迫切需求,死刑案件刑事和解的理论基础和外部环境逐渐建立,具备了和解的前提。提出构建死刑案件有限和解制度,并从和解原则、和解范围、和解情节、和解条件、配套制度等方面探索了死刑和解的实践模式。
