许霆恶意取款案的刑法学思考

Criminalistic Consideration on the Case of XuTing’s Spiteful Withdrawal

2007年12月16日,广州市中级人民法院一审对利用银行ATM机出现漏洞而恶意取款的许霆以盗窃罪判处无期徒刑,剥夺政治权利终身,并处没收个人全部财产。该案判决一经作出,立即引起轩然大波,学界对此判决结果看法不一,引发较多争议,争议的焦点主要集中于许霆的行为是否构成犯罪、构成何种犯罪以及对其行为量刑是否合理等方面。2008年1月10日,许霆案裁定发回广州市中级人民法院重审,2008年3月31日,许霆案一审重审结果宣布,广州市中级人民法院以盗窃罪判处许霆有期徒刑5年,罚金2万元。许霆对一审重审判决结果不服提出上诉,2008年5月22日,广东省高级人民法院作出终审判决,依法裁定驳回许霆的上诉,维持原判。至此,许霆案似乎尘埃落定了。然而回顾该案,笔者认为其对于重新审视我国的相关刑事立法和刑法理论具有较为典型的意义,理应加以深入的反思和探讨。

On March 31,2008.The higher people’s courts of Guangdong condemned XuTing to set term of imprisonment of five years and fine of twenty thousand dollars as his behaviour of spiteful withdrawal utilizing ATM .Thus,it seems that the highly controversial case of XuTing has settled.But reviewing this case,which arose a great disturbance at the very strat because there are comprehensive and violent dispute about XuTing’s behaviour whether could be considered to crime,his behaviour should be considered what kind of crime and the punishment to XuTing’s behaviour on whether rational or not.Therefore,the case of XuTing has typical meaning to reflecting criminal legislation and theory of criminal law in China.Thus,it is necessary to review and discuss the case of XuTing deeply.
