论认罪认罚案件“从宽的适当性”

A Study on the Suitability of“Leniency”in Cases of Confession and Punishment

认罪认罚案件的“从宽”,包括实体从宽和程序从宽。实体法层面的从宽,引入了节约司法成本的考量,从宽在控辩协商中达成。从“程序即是惩罚”这个意义上说,程序简化也是从宽。当然,程序上的从宽还包括强制措施的宽缓化、审判流程的简化及审限的缩减、程序选择等更丰富的内容。认罪认罚案件中从宽的空间变大,但也要讲究适当性,以兼顾对整体法秩序的维护。程序上从宽很大程度上体现为“从简”,也有适当性的问题,需要做到“从简不减损权利”。

The“leniency”in cases of confession and punishmentincludes substantive leniency and procedural leniency.The consideration of saving judicial cost is introduced in the aspect of substantive law,which is reached in the negotiation of prosecution and defense.In the sense of“procedure is punishment”,program simplification is also lenient.Of course,the procedural leniency also includes the leniency of coercive measures,the simplification of trial process and the reduction of trial limits,and the selection of procedures.In the case of confession and punishment,the space of leniency becomes larger,but it is also necessary to pay attention to appropriateness in order to maintain the overall legal order.To a large extent,the procedural leniency is reflected as“simplicity”,and there is also the problem of appropriateness,which requires“simplicity does not derogate from the right”.
