我就是很想關你！──「憤怒鳥」檢察官懲戒案始末與評析

A Legal Analysis on Angry Bird Prosecutor Case

立法讓不適任法官、檢察官退場，是司法改革的最重要法案之一，民間早有立法呼聲。惟由於來自作為被改革對象的司法體系阻力甚大，立法推動往往難以順遂。這種立法延宕狀態直到2010年間台灣司法界陸續爆發數起爭議判決或重大貪污事件，導致民眾對司法的不滿急速高漲，甚至引爆號稱「白玫瑰」遊行抗議活動。在迫於高漲民怨與政權延續的雙重壓力下，政府終於肯讓延宕超過20年的法官法於2011年6月順利通過。法官法裡淘汰不適任法官、檢察官的個案評鑑機制，於2012年1月正式施行。人民是否能透過職務法庭懲戒不適任者，備受各界關注。喧騰一時的「憤怒鳥」檢察官林○佑案便是由民間司改會所主動發掘並進而促使法務部應民間NGO團體請求而發動檢察官懲戒機制之首例。本文旨在將此案例之發展始末加以介述評析。

In order to safeguard the right to a fair trial of the people, the Judges Act passed in 2011 allows the establishment of two committees—the Judge Evaluation and Prosecutor Evaluation committees—under the Judicial Yuan, which would handle complaints against judicial personnel. Passage of the Judges Act had been pending for 23 years. The current law, however, is a product of highly politicized considerations and compromise. As such, the Act is far from ideal. In mid-April2012, the Judicial Reform Foundation reported that Kuan-Yu Lin (林○佑), a prosecutor at the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office, had a vicious manner in court, telling a female victim of a car accident that women should not drive cars and should stay home taking care of their children. In this study, I would like to introduce and analyze this famous “Angry Bird Prosecutor” Case from the legal viewpoint.
