我国死刑审判制度之检讨与重造

从现代司法程序原理的角度讲,我国死刑复核程序在设计上存在着不公开、单方控制以及形式化等机理性缺陷,从而造成了死刑复核程序的正当化难题.目前理论界对于死刑复核程序改革的研究缺乏一种总体上的理论进路和框架,研究具有分散性,结论缺乏系统性.死刑复核程序的改革,必须以正当程序理念为目标指引,在正当程序理念和制度框架内,探寻我国死刑复核程序变革的可行性方案.为此,必须对死刑复核程序进行三审制改造,同时严格死刑案件的程序要件,以构建死刑案件审判的正当程序.

On the Reform Approach to China's Death Case Judicial Institution

China had been enforcing the policy of "retaining death penalty and a cautious sentence of death" since 1949,but this policy have been changed since the 1980s,and it coincides with the change of death penalty review process.The power of reviewing the death penalty judgment has been endowed to some Senior Courts.However,the review of the death penalty procedure is secret,one-side controlled,and formalistic,which contradicts with modern judicial procedure principles.In the author's opinion,in order to construct a due trial process for the death cases,we should reform the trial jurisdiction institution,and make the process of death cases strict and perfect.
