论认罪答辩的审判规避效果

文章采用规范分析法,对认罪答辩的程序性效果进行了研究。我国语境下的“认罪”概念具有双重含义,同时包含了有罪供述和认罪答辩。认罪答辩的程序性效果在于规避审判,而有罪供述只能够简化审判。换言之,“承认指控”是否会产生规避审判的法律效果,直接决定我国是否存在真正意义上的认罪答辩,而速裁程序是规避审判的典型例证。实现规避审判的路径在于:通过协商程序获取认罪答辩,同时解决定罪量刑,消除诉讼争点,并最终确保认罪协议对法官的拘束力。规避审判遵循以效率为导向的结果主义进路,即虽绕过审判但应当达到与审判相同的效果,使刑事司法系统在犯罪控制与正当程序之间建立新的平衡。 

The Trial Avoidance Effect of Guilty Plea

This paper adopts normative analysis method to study the procedural effect of guilty plea.The concept of guilty plea in Chinese context has two meanings, including guilty confession and guilty plea.The procedural effect of a guilty plea is to avoid trial, whereas a guilty confession can only simplify the trial.In other words, whether admission charge will have the legal effect of evading trial directly determines whether there is a true guilty plea in our country, and the procedure of quick adjudication is a typical example of evading trial.The way to avoid the trial is to obtain the guilty plea through the negotiation procedure, solve the conviction and sentencing, eliminate the dispute points, and finally ensure the binding force of the guilty plea agreement on the judge.Circumvention trial follows an efficiency-oriented approach of consequentialism, that is, although circumvention of trial, it should achieve the same effect as trial, so as to establish a new balance between crime control and due process in the criminal justice system.
