Recently, it has been an eventful time for the whole Beijing city. The police and public security bureaus have been busy with all kinds of vicious homicides.
Most importantly, in order to stabilize the citizens, the government and superior leaders ordered the Public Security Bureau and the police station to solve cases within a time limit.
Solve the case within a time limit!
If it is an ordinary homicide case, if you can follow it, you can also find some clues.
But the number of recent homicides is as high as dozens every day, and sometimes even hundreds.
This doesn't include the body that hasn't been found!
If there were so many vicious homicides in the past few years, the police could easily find a few to fool the dead through severe interrogation.
This is not alarmist. When there were no regulations issued in China a few years ago, unjust, false and wrong cases were often brought out.
From time to time, you can see on the Internet that someone has spent decades in prison because he was misjudged by the police.
Although he was finally wronged and released from prison, the government also gave a lot of compensation.
However, in the eyes of the public, the public trust of the government and the courts has decreased greatly.
After all, living in a society full of unjust, false and wrong cases, you will be thrown into prison if you don't keep it together. Can you come out.
The most ridiculous thing is that there was a case of uncle and nephew killing. About ten years ago, a pair of uncles and nephews were taken away by the police for no reason.
The reason why the police took them away is very strange. Only because a highly rotten body was found in the small village where my uncle and nephew lived.
After a preliminary examination by the police, it was found that the body was also a person in the village and a village cadre.
As for why they arrested uncle and nephew, it was because a year ago, uncle and nephew clashed and fought with the village cadre.
In this way, there will be a motive for the crime. No matter three, seven, twenty-one, catch people first.
After the uncle and nephew were taken to the police station, the police began to interrogate them day and night.
If I don't tell you the motive and method of the crime, I won't let you sleep and eat. After three days of stalemate, uncle and nephew were forced to admit that they killed them.
And the police record is even more ridiculous!
Under normal circumstances, when the police interrogate prisoners, they always ask the prisoners to say the time, place, murder weapon and so on.
Through these transcripts and the clues found at the scene, the police will compare them one by one. If they fit together, they will convict the prisoner.
But this time, the police came up with a confession. The so-called inducement is that the police take the initiative to lure the prisoner to give some clues.
It's like the police asking the prisoner if the murder weapon is a kitchen knife. Did you put the prisoner in a snake skin bag, tie four stones to the snake skin bag and sink into the mud pond.
The uncle and nephew could not stand the endless interrogation of the police for a long time. Finally, under pressure, they confessed that they were the murderer.
The funny thing is that more than ten years later, the village cadre who had been killed returned to the village alive.
It was decided that uncle and nephew were not murderers!
This case caused an uproar in the society at the beginning. Many social commentators questioned the public trust of the court and the police.
One stone arouses thousands of waves, but no matter how many voices criticize in the society, as long as there is no legislation in the law, the police and the court will go their own way.
What if you misjudge a few people?
This situation is common in China. But abroad, it is extremely rare.
The main reason is that domestic laws are based on the principle of killing mistakes rather than letting them go.
To a large extent, this has weakened human rights.
However, in foreign countries, the foundation of the establishment of laws is not to ensure social stability and the long-term stability of the country.
But written in accordance with the law of human rights!
Therefore, foreign courts pay no attention to any aspect. As long as the prosecutor can provide a complete chain of evidence and get the recognition of thirteen jurors, the court will punish the suspect in accordance with the law.
In other words, if there is a big doubt in the chain of evidence provided by the prosecution, it is not enough to become a complete chain of evidence, and correct the suspect. Thus, without the approval of the 13 jurors, the court will choose to postpone the hearing or release it directly in court!
After all, human rights are paramount abroad. As long as there is no solid evidence, neither the court nor the police, even the president, has the right to order the arrest of the suspect.
This is the creed of foreign law enforcement. It's better to put it wrong than kill it wrong!
But at home, this will not work. Different from foreign countries, China is a relatively humane society.
The court and the prosecution are interdependent. Once the prosecution finds that this person is the perpetrator. But the court found doubts through the chain of evidence submitted by the prosecution.
Generally, the court will choose a light sentence. The so-called light sentence is not to kill you directly.
For example, if this person misjudged the death penalty, it would be a suspended death sentence. The purpose of doing so, to put it bluntly, is to give you a chance.
If you can rehabilitate yourself in your lifetime, it's your good luck. If you can't, I'm sorry, you can only spend your life in prison.
The main reason why the court did so was that it was unwilling to offend the prosecution, that is, the police and the public security system.
The two are interdependent. Once the court finds that there are loopholes in the evidence provided by the prosecution, it should reject the prosecution's evidence and investigate again.
But if so, the prosecution will face double pressure from the superior and the government.
What is pressure? For example, if a vicious homicide occurs in a province or city. Alerted senior government officials, it is bound to order the police to solve the case within a time limit.
Under pressure, the police will arrest some suspects. Regardless of whether it was a criminal or not, he first extorted a confession by words and deeds, turned it into a trick, and completed the task of his superior first.
But once the police announce to solve the case, there will be many interests. Someone can get promoted and get rich and prosper because of this. Some people will get a lot of bonus encouragement and so on!
The problem is, if the court declares that the prosecution's evidence is insufficient. The prosecution will face the question of whether the official position should be promoted or not.
Even many people will be involved!
Therefore, domestic courts can only choose a light sentence, so as to give prisoners a chance of rebirth. This is also the malpractice created by the domestic human society!
