《中华人民共和国刑法》第二百三十二条规定了“故意杀人罪”的量刑,具体刑罚为“故意杀人的,处死刑、无期徒刑或者十年以上有期徒刑;情节较轻的,处三年以上十年以下有期徒刑”。由此可见故意杀人罪的量刑是较重的,在刑法理论上,通过对犯罪嫌疑人故意的“直接”与“间接”的区分,往往直接影响到对其最后量刑的轻重。 Article 242 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates the “sentencing of intentional homicide” sentencing. The specific sentence is “intentional homicide, and the execution of death penalty, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years; the circumstances are light , At three years of above ten years in prison. ” Therefore, the sentencing of intentional homicide is heavier. In the theory of criminal law, the distinction between intentional “direct ” and “indirect ” of criminal suspects often has a direct impact on the severity of the final sentencing.
