论刑事案件分案审理

刑事案件分案审理是指人民法院对以一份起诉书(自诉状)指控的没有关联性的数个被告人犯罪的案件,或者数个被告人的犯罪虽有关联性但不宜进行合并审理的案件,将其中部分被告人的犯罪运用另外一个或者数个审理程序分别进行审理的一项刑事审判制度。由于我国法律目前没有明确规定分案审理,司法实践中存在的对一份起诉书(自诉状)指控没有关联性的数个被告人的案件进行并案审理,导致出现功能障碍、程序牵连、诉权制约等弊端。在现有法律框架内,人民法院可以根据分案审理的条件,对提起公诉的没有关联性的数个被告人间的若干犯罪行为,采取制作数份判决的方式实现分案审理。对自诉案件,可说服自诉人按照法院建议提起自诉,或者裁定驳回。
