| 单词 | Prejudicial publicity |
| 释义 | 具損害性的出版 The publication of extra-curial material which has the tendency to interfere with a fair trial, the essence of which is that the jury decide the guilt or innocence of an accused solely upon the basis of the evidence tendered in court. It is a serious contempt to publish the criminal record of an accused (R v Davies [1906] 1 KB 32), or information about a criminal trial capable of revealing to the jury that the accused had committed other offences unknown to them (R v Border Television Ltd, ex p A-G (1978) 68 Cr App Rep 375, 122 Sol Jo 162), or to comment on the previous bad character of the accused before trial (R v Thomson Newspapers Ltd, ex p A-G [1968] 1 All ER 268, [1968] 1 WLR 1 (DC)). In contempt proceedings, the court has to consider the likely effect of the publication. The question is that whether that was likely to pose a real risk that the due administration of justice would be impaired in an important respect, and whether it pose a real risk that the jury would take into account extraneous matters not part of the evidence in coming to its conclusion: R v Cheung Kim Hung (HCMA 120/97, unreported). In determining whether a publication has the necessary tendency it is not relevant to determine what the actual effect of the publication upon the proceedings has been or what it probably will be; it is sufficient if it has a real possibility of interfering with or prejudicing the proper administration of justice in relation to the trial. See also Contempt of court; Fair Trial; Prejudicial; Pre-trial publicity. 趨於干預公平審訴的不利資料的出版。重點在於倍審團只基於在法庭提供的證據判定被告是否有罪。凡印載被告的刑事紀錄(R v Davies [1906] 1 KB 32),或向陪審團顯示被告曾犯其他他們不知道的罪行的刑事審訴資料(R v Border Television Ltd, ex p A-G (1978) 68 Cr App Rep 375, 122 Sol Jo 162), 或在審訴前評論被告人之前的不良品格(R v Thomson Newspapers Ltd, ex p A-G [1968] 1 All ER 268, [1968] 1 WLR 1（英國地方法院）), 均屬嚴重蔑視。在有關蔑視的法律程序﹐法庭需考慮出版可能帶來的影嚮。問題是該出版會否可能帶來真正的危機, 對妥善司法的執行做成重大的不公及是否帶來真正的危機﹐使陪審團在達成結論時會考慮不是證據一部份的無關事項: R v Cheung Kim Hung （高院雜項案件1996年第2160號，未經彙報） 。在決定一份出版有此必然傾向時﹐決定出版在法律程序曾有過或可能會有的實際影響是無關的, 如有關刊物有真正干預或損害在審訴方面的妥善司法執行的可能性 , 這已足以表示出版傾向有損害性。另見 Contempt of court; Fair Trial; Prejudicial; Pre-trial publicity。 |
