摘要
证人证言作为八种法定证据类型之一,在刑事诉讼中占据着重要地位。但长期以来,证人出庭难是我国司法实践中不可回避的顽症。新《刑事诉讼法》对证人出庭制度做出了完善,在明确证人出庭作证范围的基础上,规定了强制证人出庭作证、证人补偿制度和证人保护制度。可预见的是,随着新《刑事诉讼法》的实施,证人出庭将成为常态,检察机关势必要在保证证人出庭、应对证人翻证、有效出庭支持公诉、公诉人才建设等方面建立健全相应的制度和措施,方能有效地履行指控犯罪职能,应对新《刑事诉讼法》实施给检察机关带来的各种挑战和风险。
As one of the eight kinds of evidence, witness testimony has been an important role in criminal procedure. For a long time, however, witness testimony has also been an inevitable persistent ailment in judi- cial practice. The new Criminal Procedure Law improves the system of witness testimony. On the base of the explicit range of witness testimony, the supporting systems such as compelling the witness to present at court, witness compensation and protection system have been established. It is predictable that these new regulations will normalize the witness testimony. Accordingly, the procuratorial organs shall take corresponding measures in guaranteeing the attendance of witness, coping with the witness＇ revoking verbal evidence, supporting public prosecution in court, talent construction of public prosecution, only then can the procuratorial organs effectively exercise its function of accusing the criminals and rise to the challenge brought by the new Criminal Procedure Law.
