目前我国的精神鉴定启动程序采取职权主义模式,公检法机关享有决定权,而辩护人以及被告人的近亲属仅有补充鉴定和重新鉴定的申请权。这在精神鉴定结果可以决定被告人刑事责任能力的情况下,无疑使得被告的诉讼利益处于不利境地。死刑案件秉持“少杀、慎杀”原则,建立死刑精神鉴定强制提起程序可以成为全面改革我国精神鉴定制度的试验田,为人权保护作出进一步努力。 At present, China’s spiritual appraisal start-up procedure adopts the mode of official power, and public security organs have the right to decide. However, the defenders and the close relatives of defendants only have the right to apply for supplementary appraisal and recertification. This will undoubtedly put defendants’ litigation benefits at a disadvantage under the condition that the result of spiritual appraisal can determine the defendant’s criminal responsibility. The death penalty cases adhere to the principle of “killing less and killing more” and establishing the spirit of the death penalty to enforce the procedure can become the experimental field for the comprehensive reform of the spiritual appraisal system in our country and make further efforts for the protection of human rights.
