量刑建議的“高採納率”誤區

The Misunderstanding about High Adoption Rates of Sentencing Recommendation

量刑建議已經日漸成為刑事訴訟格局中控辯審關係的聯結紐帶，尤其是在適用認罪認罰從寬程序的案件集群內。而檢察機關提出的量刑建議能否被法院所採納，也牽動著各個訴訟權能主體的敏感神經。目前呈現的''高採納率''能否符合制度改革的理想預期，則真正取決於其內在衍生進程。對此，多維度的實證調查有助於客觀準確的認知形成，以防過度釋放片面盲目的樂觀情緒。從現有情況來看，法院對檢察機關所提量刑建議的採納，並不是完全出於法律評價上的相互認同，而一定程度上受到了雙方關係融洽與否的影響。究其根源，配合制約原則仍深刻影響著量刑建議的實踐運行效果。只有在排除了某些觀念誤區的前提下，量刑建議才能滿足公正與效率之間的均衡訴求。同時，刑事司法權即可被平穩維繫於控辯審三方的共同合意。當然，這種理想情境的達成絕非朝夕之功，而勢必仰賴程序模型的持續進化。

"Sentencing recommendation has gradually become the link between all parties in criminal proceedings, especially under the system of pleading guilty and accepting punishments with leniency. Whether the sentencing recommendation generated from prosecution can be accepted by the court attracts the attention of all related litigation participants. The current“high adoption rate”may meet the expectation of mechanism reform depends on its internal derivative process. In this regard, various empirical investigation helps us to form objective and accurate cognition to prevent blind optimism. Based on the current situation, the large number of court’s adoption of sentencing recommendation is not entirely out of professional recognition, but more or less affected by the relationship between Prosecution and Judge. The principle of coordination and restriction in criminal procedure determines the practical effect of sentencing recommendation. Only when any misunderstandings were eliminated, it would satisfy the balance between justice and efficiency. At the same time, the criminal justice process will be maintained smoothly in the consensus of all parties involved. This ideal situation is obviously difficult to achieve in the short term, but we should rely on the continuous advancement of system construction."
