论刑事速裁程序不适用严格证明——以哈贝马斯的交往共识论为分析的视角

Strict Proof not applying to the Fast-Track Sentencing Procedure for Criminal Cases: Using Habermas’s Theory of Communicative Consensus as an Analytical Tool

严格证明要求对犯罪事实从法定证据方法、法定调查程序方面予以限制,并且要求对于犯罪事实的心证达到排除合理怀疑的＂确信＂程度。考虑到刑事速裁程序中法庭调查与法庭辩论程序的＂不再进行＂,法院未经证据能力审查程序,且未经开庭程序就形成心证,因此解除了严格证明对于犯罪事实的心证形成过程的严格限制。哈贝马斯认为,通过理性论证达成的共识即是＂正当＂的结果和＂客观＂的真理。因此,刑事速裁程序的事实证明并不要求过高的证明标准,严格证明所要求的＂内心确信＂已经悄然消解。

Strict proof requires that there should be some limitation for the criminal facts from the aspects of legal evidence method and investigation procedure. And it also requires the mental impression for the criminal facts to achieve the degree of ＂convincing＂beyond a reasonable doubt. In consideration of court investigation and court debate doesn＇t exist in the fast-track sentencing procedure for criminal cases,the court evaluates the evidence without examination procedure for evidence qualification or trial procedure. Thus,the strict restriction that strict proof required by evaluating the criminal facts is released. According to Habermas,the consensus,which was proofed rationally,was legitimate result and impersonal verity. Thus,proof of facts in the fast-track sentencing procedure for criminal cases doesn＇t need higher standards,and the inner conviction which strict proof required was quietly dispersed.
