为全面审查原则辩护

Defending the Principle of Comprehensive Review

我国《刑事诉讼法》并没有将二审全面审查原则作为一个单独的章节规定,而是穿插在相关法条中。很多学者对全面审查原则持怀疑态度,这源于我国刑事诉讼法对当事人主义的关注、对传统的真实发现主义的质疑。为此,一些学者提出在二审程序中适用有限审查原则,但他们所提出的支撑理由不能成立。我国二审程序的全面审查并不是由单一情况决定的,制度特性、审理方式、法官能力等因素,都决定了二审全面审查的合理性与正当性。

China’s“Criminal Procedure Law”does not take the principle of comprehensive review of second instance as a separate chapter,but interspersed in the relevant articles of law.Many scholars are skeptical about the principle of comprehensive review,which stems from China’s criminal procedure law’s attention to the litigant doctrine and the query to the traditional true discovery doctrine.Therefore,some scholars propose to apply the principle of limited review in the procedure of second instance,but the supporting reasons they put forward can not be established.The comprehensive review of China’s second instance procedure is not determined by a single situation.The system characteristics,trial methods,judges’ability and other factors all determine the rationality and legitimacy of the comprehensive review of the second instance.
