论自首中影响“如实供述”成立的六大实务问题

On the Six Practical Issues Affecting the Establishment of“Truthful Confession”in Surrender

自首作为刑法规定的一项重要情节,事关当事人受到司法裁量时能否从轻或减轻处罚,但由于其成立条件不够具象化,导致实践中对于不同情况是否成立自首存在较大争议。尤其是对“如实供述”的认定,一直是司法实践中的难题。何时如实供述、如实供述的边界、自我辩解行为、翻供后再如实供述等问题,都可能影响“如实供述”的成立。况且不同的司法机关对此往往有不同的理解,因此实务中更应当遵照立法目的,以体系解释明晰“如实供述”的认定逻辑。

As an important circumstance stipulated in the criminal law,surrender is related to whether the parties can be lenient or mitigated when they are subject to judicial discretion.However,due to the lack of concrete conditions for its establishment,there is a great dispute over whether to establish surren⁃der in different situations in practice.In particular,the identification of“truthful confession”has always been a difficult problem in judicial practice.Issues such as when to make a truthful confession,the boundary of truthful confession,self-justification behavior,and truthful confession after retract the confes⁃sion may affect the establishment of truthful confession.Moreover,different judicial organs often have dif⁃ferent understandings of these issues,so in practice,it is necessary to systematically explain and clarify the identification logic of“truthful confession”according to the legislative purpose.
