认罪认罚从宽案件证明标准的选择与保障

Choice and guarantee of proof standardin the case of leniency for pleading guilty

认罪认罚从宽案件的证明标准是否应该降低,当前,理论界与实务界都颇有争议,原因在于以下两点:一是检察主导与审判中心主义的冲突;二是认罪认罚从宽制度本土化思想的缺乏。被追诉人认罪认罚,简化了检方的刑事证明程序,但这并不意味着定罪的标准必然降低。从我国刑事诉讼的本土诉求来考量,认罪认罚从宽案件应当选择法定的证明标准。在适用过程中应注重协商的限度、保障被告人的自愿性、坚持审判中心主义的理念,在此基础上,法定证明标准的选择才有保障。

Whether the standard of proof in the case of leniency to those who plead guilty and accept punishment should be lowered or not is quite controversial at present.The reasons lie in the following two points:First,the conflict between procuratorial dominance and trial centralism;The second is the lack of the localization of Leniency for pleading guilty.The accused pleads guilty and pleads guilty,which simplifies the criminal proof procedure of the prosecution,but this does not mean that the standard of conviction will inevitably be lowered.Considering from the local appeal of criminal procedure in our country,the legal standard of proof should be chosen in the case of leniency to those who plead guilty and accept punishment.In the process of application,we should pay attention to the boundaries of sentence negotiations,guarantee the voluntariness of leniency for pleading guilty and adhere to the concept of trial centralism,on this basis,the choice of legal standard of proof can be guaranteed.
