| 单词 | Substituted verdict |
| 释义 | 取代的裁決 A verdict to replace the verdict upon which the appellant was convicted after a successful appeal against conviction. Where the prosecution accepts that the jury’s verdict must be set aside but contend that, on the correct factual basis, the court should substitute a different verdict of guilty, the onus of satisfying the court that it should do so must rest on the prosecution: Smith v Her Majesty’s Advocate (2001) SCCR 143. In a case of an appeal against conviction where the jury could have found the appellant guilty of some other offence and, on the finding of the jury, it appears to the court that the jury must have been satisfied of facts which proved him guilty of the other offence, the court may, instead of allowing or dismissing the appeal, substitute for the verdict of the jury a verdict of guilty of the other offence and pass such sentence in substitution for the sentence passed at the trial as may be authorised by law for the other offence, not being a sentence of greater severity: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 83A(1), (2). In certain circumstances a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity may be substituted and the appellant ordered to be admitted to a mental hospital: s 83D(1). See also Appeal. 在針對定罪的上訴成功後，取代上訴人被定罪的裁決。如控方接納陪審團的裁決應作廢，但辯稱基於正確的事實基礙，有關的法院應以不同的有罪裁決取代，則控方有舉證責任須使法庭信納：Smith v Her Majesty’s Advocate (2001) SCCR 143。 如在針對定罪的上訴案件中，陪審團本可裁斷上訴人就另一罪行有罪，而依據陪審團的裁斷，上訴法庭覺得陪審團定已信納證明上訴人就該另一罪行有罪的事實；上訴法庭可將裁斷該另一罪行有罪的裁決取代陪審團裁斷所得的裁決，並就該另一罪行判處法律所認可的而並非較嚴的刑罰，以取代在審訊時所判處的刑罰，而非判決上訴得直或駁回上訴：《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第83A(1)及(2)條。在若干情況下，因精神錯亂而無罪的裁決可被取代，而上訴法庭須作出命令將上訴人收納入精神病院：第 83D(1)條。另見 Appeal。 |
