认罪认罚从宽的困境反思与路径检视

Reflect on Plight of Leniency for Confession and Willingness to Be Punished and Views on Practices

认罪认罚从宽的实践是完善现有简易程序的有益探索,但依然存在以下问题:一是认罪率高而认罚率相对较低;二是量刑从宽而审前羁押并未减少;三是值班律师制度保障认罪认罚自愿性而法律帮助作用相对有限。为此,在以审判为中心的后盾保障下,需明确从宽协商过程中罪刑法定的边界,通过减少对被告人的审前羁押率和扩展值班律师的法律帮助权来保障被告人认罪认罚的自愿性与真实性,促其真诚悔过,预防再犯。

The Practice of leniency for confession and willingness to be punished is a beneficial exploration to improve the existing summary procedure,but has following problems:1.high rate of confession and relatively low rate of punishment;2.lenient sentence but no reduction of pretrial detention period;3.the duty lawyer system guaranteeing the voluntary confession and punishment,but relatively limited role of legal assistance.As the trial is a centrum,it is necessary to clarify the boundary of legally prescribed punishment and the process of negotiation about leniency.By reducing the pre-trial detention rate of the defendants and expanding the legal aid rights of the lawyers on duty,we can guarantee the willingness and authenticity of the defendants’confession and punishment,contribute to their sincere repentance and prevent their recidivism.
