| 单词 | Evidence of lies |
| 释义 | 謊言證據 Information adduced to the court showing that the accused made a false statement. If the lies are relevant only to credibility, the jury should be given the usual simple warning that an accused may lie for many reasons other than guilt. However, when lies are relied upon as corroboration or as confirmation of identification evidence or might be relied on by the jury as supporting evidence of the defendant’s guilt, a full Lucas direction or Broadhurst direction is necessary and failure to do so amount to a misdirection: R v Lucas (Ruth) [1981] QB 720, (1981) 73 Cr App R 159 (CA); Broadhurst v R [1964] AC 441, 1 All ER 111; R v Goodway [1993] 4 All ER 894, (1994) 98 Cr App R 11; R v Sharp (Frank) (1994) 98 Cr App R 144; R v Ho Che Chung [1994] 2 HKC 148. Such direction should be given to the effect that a lie told by an accused can only strengthen or support evidence against that accused if the jury are satisfied that the lie which relates to a material issue was deliberate and that there is no innocent explanation for it. See also Corroboration; Direction to jury. 指向法庭援引以證明被控人作出虛假陳述的資料。如謊言謹與可信程度有關，則應向陪審團作出慣常的簡單預告，即有關的被控人可在很多理由而非犯罪的情況下說謊。但如倚賴有關的謊言作為辯識證據的佐證或確認，或如有關的陪審團可倚賴作為被控人罪行的支持證據，則應給予充分的 Lucas 指示或Broadhurst 指示，如未能如此作出指示，則相當於錯誤指示：R v Lucas (Ruth) [1981] QB 720, (1981) 73 Cr App R 159 （芵國上訴法院）; Broadhurst v R [1964] AC 441, 1 All ER 111; R v Goodway [1993] 4 All ER 894, (1994) 98 Cr App R 11; R v Sharp (Frank) (1994) 98 Cr App R 144; R v Ho Che Chung [1994] 2 HKC 148。此等指示的應有效力是：如陪審團信納與具關鍵性的爭議有關的謊言是蓄意的謊言，並且不可以不知情作解釋，則謹可在此情況下，被控人的謊言才可鞏固或支持針對被控人的證據。另見 Corroboration; Direction to jury。 |
