摘 要 鑑於民國八十六年底修正刑事訴訟法,嘗試引進英美法上之認罪協商制度,以解決司法負擔過重之問題,本文乃以認罪協商制度之論述為經,我國相關之規範為緯,比較分析、研究檢討之,並進一步地尋求制度外更好之解決方式。 第一章敘述研究之動機、目的及方法、範圍。 第二章針對認罪協商之內涵,分別說明其實行之程序、沿革發展、理論、規範根據、種類及其與有罪答辯概念之區分。 第三章提出了與認罪協商制度相關的法律問題,如影響認罪協商之因素、被告「罪」「刑」認定之問題、及認罪協商對被告、檢察官、法官所生法律上效力之問題等。 第四章乃以我國簡易程序為基礎,進而探討我國現行之協商制度,即除對我國類似認罪協商之制度為一簡介、比較外,並闡述採納此制與否之爭議、現行規範產生之問題、及其將來修正之方向,針對現行實務運作之情形,提出相關或法制外之解決之道。 第五章結論,係肯認認罪協商此一新制之改革,並期勉就現行法制加以研討改進,參酌相關司法外處理之制度與經驗,以使刑事司法均能達更迅速、妥適之目標。 附錄一為德、日、英、法等國類似制度之簡介。 附錄二則為一則實務上運用認罪協商制度之案例,供參考對照之。
Abstract At 1997, R.O.C introduces the “Plea Bargaining” institution to solve the over-heavy problem of the judicature. This article which are discussed in the following five parts contains the description of “Plea Bargaining”, analysis of our country’s rules, and seeks for other better method. In the first chapter, I describe the motives, goals, methods, and range of my research. In the second chapter, I focus on the meaning of “Plea Bargaining”, and illustrate the procedures of its practice, history, theory, regulative fundament, types, and the difference between the “Plea of Guilty” and “Plea Bargaining”. In the third chapter, I propose the legal problems about the “Plea Bargaining”, such as the factor affecting it, the criminal and penal definition of a defendant, and the legal efficacy to the defendant, the public procurator, and the judge in the “Plea Bargaining”. In the fourth chapter, I discuss the “Summary Procedure” and our present institutions, which not only introduces and compare the similar institutions of our country but also describe the disputation of adding this new institution, the problems of present institutions, and the possibly solvable ways. In the fifth chapter, I admit the reform of new institution (Plea Bargaining), and wish we can improve the judicial system to achieve a more prompt and perfect situation. In the appendix I, there is the brief introduction of the similar institution in Germany, Japan, England, France, etc. In the appendix II, there is a practical case for your reference.
