摘要
从诉讼价值的角度考量沉默权和坦白从宽之间的关系 ,统一性是其基本内容。主要体现为两个方面。其一 ,二者之间存在着共同的基础和因素 :同为人权内容 ,都利于实现司法公正是二者的共同基础 ;益于获取真实口供是二者共有的因素。其二 ,二者之间在一定条件下相互转化 :当犯罪嫌疑人、被告人放弃沉默权 ,其陈述便可作为合法证据使用 ,此时沉默权转化为坦白 ;当犯罪嫌疑人、被告人不愿坦白时 ,司法人员应尊重其陈述选择自由 。
The unity is the main content as we search the relationship between the right to silence and the leniency to those who confess their crimes. The unity shows up as following. First, they embody the same basic and factor. Their same basic is that they are both beneficial to realizing the judicial justice. Their same factor is that they are both beneficial to acquiring the true confession. Second, they can transform into each other on some conditions. When the crime suspect and the accused give up the right to silence, their confession can be used as the legitimate testimony, and then the right to silence transforms to the confession. When the crime suspect and the accused would not confess, the judicial person should consider their choice, and then the confession transforms to the right to silence.
