近二十年来的最高人民检察院的年度统计表明,被告人无论是否认罪,也不管案件的犯罪性质是否严重,其中的绝大多数都被实施了审前羁押。笔者对某基层法院的实证考察证实了这一点。本文认为,有必要且可以降低认罪轻案中的审前羁押率、缩短羁押期限。 Annual statistics of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate in the past two decades show that most of the defendants, regardless of whether they pleaded guilty or not, were criminally held in pretrial detention. The author’s empirical investigation of a grassroots court confirms this point. This article holds that it is necessary and can reduce the pretrial detention rate in pleading guilty and shorten the duration of detention.
