“南大碎尸案”追诉时效问题之研究

The Research on the Limitation of Prosecution in the Murder Case in Nanjing University

文章以发生于1996年的南京大学碎尸案的追诉时效问题为切入点,研究了现行1997年《中华人民共和国刑法》以及相关司法解释关于追诉时效及其溯及力问题的规定,指出有关司法解释与现行刑法的规定存在不一致,继而分别分析了该案的追诉时效依刑法规定和依司法解释规定得出的不同结论,即:若依司法解释规定适用1979年《刑法》,该案已过追诉时效;若依现行《刑法》规定,该案的追诉时效则必须待查明案情后方可进行判断。但是,即使该案依法已过诉讼时效,根据该案案情性质和社会影响,亦可依法报经最高人民检察院核准追诉。
