单词 | Identification evidence |
释义 | 識別證據 Information tending to identify a person or thing. Identification evidence has frequently led to miscarriage of justice. Where evidence as to identification represents any significant part of the proof of guilt of an offence, the judge must warn the jury as to the dangers of convicting on such terms where its reliability is disputed. A warning in general terms is insufficient. When the case against an accused depends wholly or substantially on the correctness of one or more identifications of the accused which the defence alleges to be mistaken, the judge should warn the jury of the special need for caution before convicting the accused in reliance on the correctness of any of the identification: R v Turnbull [1977] QB 224 (CA); Chik Shui Wai & Anor v R [1977] HKLR 259 (CA). Where the quality of the identification is poor and unsupported, the judge should withdraw the case from the jury: R v Turnbull, supra. See also Identification mark; Miscarriage of justice; Warning. 有助於識別某人或某東西的資料。識別證據經常導致司法不公。凡識別證據佔證明指控人觸犯某罪行的證據的相當顯著部份,則法官必須預告陪審團,在此等證據的可靠性受爭議的情況下,按照此等證據作出定罪的危險。概括的預告是不足夠的。每當針對被控人的案件是完全地或重大地取決於一項或以上識別被控人的正確性,而抗辯指稱是錯誤的,法官應預告陪審團,在依賴有關識別的正確性以將被控人定罪前,需要特別謹慎:R v Turnbull [1977] QB 224(英國上訴法院); Chik Shui Wai & Anor v R [1977] HKLR 259(上訴法院)。凡識別的證據不足道或無根據的,則法官應從陪審團撤回該案件:R v Turnbull, 見上文。Identification mark; Miscarriage of justice; Warning。 |
