The implementation of evidentiary adjudication and improvement of the evidence system are important issues in China's judicial reform at its technical level, including the establishment of an evidence exclusionary rulesy stem. From a comparative and historical perspective, these exclusionary rules are mainly derived from the British judicial system. Some changes in judicial procedures between the eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries provided motives for developing exclusionary rules to screen trial evidence. In the first place, thetransformation of the jury stablished the dualistic-regulation-structure and put the fact-finders in a disadvantageous position of information, which provided institutional space for exclusionary rules. Second, evidence became a dangerous information source, which generated practical necessities for legislating exclusionary rules. Lastly, the need to stimulating the adversary proof and backup verbal debating trial provided a long-run procedural drive for exclusionary rules. A historical interpretation of these developing motives will serve as a reference for rethinking the feasibility and necessity of exclusionary rules legislation in contemporary China. |
