论我国刑事二审审判期限制度之完善

On the Improvement of the Time Limit System for Criminal Second Instance Trial in China

经过2012年《刑事诉讼法》修改,我国刑事二审审判期限制度取得了重大进步,长期困扰司法实践的审限紧张等问题得到纾解,但进一步改进的空间仍然存在。就二审整体审判期限而言,应在差别化、封闭性、科学性等方面进一步调整。对于检察机关阅卷期限,应在一个月基础上,允许调取新证据的案件进一步延长半个月。发回重审制度因其与二审审限以及其他诉讼期限均有关联,应当采取措施严防其滥用,具体包括取消因事实不清、证据不足的发回重审、规范基于程序违法的发回重审、严格裁判文书说理制度等。

After the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Law in 2012,the system of the trial period of the second instance of our country has gotten great improvement and problems such as the limitation of the judicial practice for a long time has been alleviated.However,there is still room for further improvement.Firstly,the entire time limit for the secondary trial should be adjusted in the aspects of differentiation,closure and scientificity and so on.Secondly,the time period for examing the case files by procurators should be allowed to extended for half a month on the basis of one month in the cases that need obtain new evidence.Thirdly,measures should be taken to prevent abuse of remanding a case to the original court for retrial,including cancelling the remand for the reason as unclear facts and the insufficient evidence,improving the remand based on violating the litigation procedures,implementing judgment reasoning system strictly.
