The complexity of ordinary criminal cases can be demonstrated by being compared with cases of historically- inherited nature. Wrongful charges in ordinary criminal cases is mainly due to problems in fact-finding, rather than the application of law. Fact-finding is an inner experience that can not be fully expressed in words. Due to different experiences, educational backgrounds, professional interests and so on, those who participate in investigation and trial have different experiences with the given facts of the same case, and often form cognitive differences. There trial of a case basically takes place many years after the original trial took effect. The original trial experienced the scene in person and had direct and verbal interactions with the defendant and other litigation participants. Review can only rely on paper readings. And due to social changes, there are often more than ten years of cognitive gap between the original trial and the retrial, which may easily give rise to opposition in factual judgments. The cognitive opposition on factual issues is concentrated on how to respond to the emergence of the ‘true culprit’. Compared with the political and institutional narrative, the perspective of cognitive ability improvement is more fundamental and critical for the establishing of a mechanism for judging and correcting factual problems in wrongful cases. |
