中文摘要:
作为实现从宽预期的主要机制,检察机关的量刑建议是构建认罪认罚从宽制度的关键。量刑建议仅具取效性质,无任何直接的实体效力。虽然2018年刑事诉讼法第201条第1款的“一般应当”只能解释为“应当”,但将该条第2款的“量刑建议明显不当”与第1款的“其他可能影响公正审判的情形”相关联,仍可维持审判机关在量刑中的决定地位。量刑建议的形成需注重辩方意见,辩护的有效性与量刑建议的公正性关系密切。量刑建议以“确定刑为原则,幅度刑为例外”的命题无法得到整全论证,在缺乏精细化量刑指南的当下,仅宜对简单、轻微案件提出确定刑量刑建议。量刑建议的调整存在四种情形,量刑建议是否“明显不当”取决于审判机关的认识,审判机关也无通知检察机关事先调整量刑建议的法定义务。
英文摘要:
As the main mechanism for maintaining and achieving leniency expectations, the sentencing recommendation of the procuratorial organ is the key to the construction of the system of leniency for pleading guilty and accepting punishment. Through the hermeneutic analysis, the expression “shall…generally” in Article 201 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Law can only be interpreted as “shall”. However, the association of the provision “the sentencing recommendation is evidently inappropriate” in Article 201 (2) with “other circumstances that may affect a fair trial” in Article 201 (1) can still maintain the judicial organ’s decisive position in sentencing. In the formation of sentencing recommendations, attention needs to be paid to the defense opinion, and the effectiveness of defense is closely related to the fairness of sentencing recommendations. The proposition that sentencing recommendations should “take determined punishment as the rule and range of punishment as an exception” cannot be fully justified. Also, in the absence of detailed sentencing guidelines, it is advisable that procuratorial organs make sentencing recommendations on determined punishment only in simple and minor cases. There are four situations in which the sentencing recommendations should be adjusted. Under these situations, whether “the sentencing recommendation is evidently inappropriate” depends on the court’s understanding, and the court has no legal obligation to notify the procuratorial organ to adjust the sentencing recommendation in advance.
