论口供在刑事司法裁判中之地位——兼评“口供中心主义”与“口供抛弃主义”

On the Position of the Confession in Criminal Justice Practice——Comment on “Confession Centralism” and “Abandon the Doctrine of Confession”

口供作为证据的一种,在认定案件事实、正确定罪量刑方面具有重要作用。在不同的历史阶段,人们对口供有不同的态度并产生过激烈的争论,最终形成了"口供中心主义"与"口供抛弃主义"两大对立的观点,但两者都没有正确认识口供在司法裁判中之地位。正确对待口供首先应当明确尽管口供仅仅是证据,但其是证据体系中最重要的一种证据,同时还要正确认识口供与刑讯的关系,正确理解立法上对口供的限制。

Confession,as a kind of evidence,plays a very important role in asserting the fact of cases and correctly conviction and sentencing.In different historical stages,people have different attitudes towards their counterparts and have had a heated argument,eventually formed a ＂confession centralism＂ and ＂confession to abandon＂ the two opposing views,but both of them do not have a correct understanding of the status of the confession in judicial adjudication.To treat confession correctly,firstly we should make clear that although the statement is only evidence,it is the most important evidence in the evidence system,and at the same time,we should recognize the relationship between confession and torture,and correctly understand the limitations of legislation.
