试析刑事证明标准理论之法律真实说

我国学者们缘于对1996年修改的《中华人民共和国刑事诉讼法》第162条所确立的“疑罪从无”原则的讨论,将“法律真实”引入刑事证明标准理论,法律真实说驳斥客观真实说曲解唯物主义认识论,对客观真实说的缺陷作了切中要害、准确而深入的分析,因而,在与客观真实说的论战中逐步获得来越多的支持。然而,法律真实说由于其理论上的不彻底性,也使其自身存在着不可克服的内在矛盾。

The Analysis of the Doctrine of Legal Truth of the Criminal Proof Standard Theory

Based on the debate on the principle of"When the evidence is insufficient,the defendant shall be declared innocent"written in the Article162of the Criminal Procedure Law of P.R.China(1996),many scholars introduced the concept of legal truth in the theory of proof standard in criminal procedure.The doctrine of legal truth denounces that the objective truth doctrine misinterprets the materialist epistemology,and also analyzes its limitation deeply and accurately.Therefore,more and more people support the doctrine of legal truth.However,there is unconquerable inherent contradiction in the legal truth doctrine,for there exist some defects in the theory itself.
