“量刑与定罪互动论”的疑问--与高艳东教授商榷

摘要

高艳东教授提出的“量刑与定罪互动论”试图解决立法与理论缺陷带来的量刑过重问题，解决的办法就是变换罪名。之所以可以变换罪名是因为：其一，罪名标准具有随意性，追求精确定罪乃作茧自缚；其二，量刑才是刑法重心，定罪应为量刑公正而让路。事实上，根本不存在所谓的“立法与理论缺陷带来的量刑过重问题”，也不存在“罪名标准具有随意性”的问题，只不过是高艳东教授没有全面恰当解释刑法而已。同时，刑法的公正包括定罪和量刑公正，二者缺一不可。即通过刑法解释可以解决高艳东教授所担心问题，“量刑与定罪互动论”没有存在的必要。%To solve the problem of unfair sentence due to the defects of litigation and theory, Professor Gao Yandong puts forward the theory of “Interaction between Sentence and Conviction", and therefore the change of charges seems to be the best solution.In Gao's eyes, we can do that mainly because of the following reasons:First-ly, the standard of charges is arbitrary, so it is nonsense to pursue an accurate one;secondly, since sentence is the core of the criminal law, conviction should give way to the fair sentence.However, there isn't at all the problem of"unfair sentence caused by legislative and theoretical defects", nor is the problem of"the arbitrary standard of sen-tence".Instead, both of them are the results of improper interpretation of criminal law by Professor Gao.So we can solve Gao's problem by interpreting the criminal law properly, and there is no need for the theory of"Interaction be-tween Sentence and Conviction".
