| 单词 | Accomplice warning |
| 释义 | 從犯警示 In a criminal trial, a judge must direct the jury, that in respect of evidence given by a witness alleged to be an accomplice to the accused or a person otherwise involved in the offence charged against the accused, that the jury should be cautious about accepting the evidence of the witness where the evidence is not corroborated, although they may do so. The principle behind is that the witness may attempt to minimise his or her involvement in the offence while exaggerating that of the accused. Sometimes it is called the accomplice direction. In Hong Kong, the need for an accomplice warning has been abolished since 1994, by the enactment of the present Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 60. See also Accomplice; Complicity; Corroboration. 在刑事審訊中，法官須就由被控人或參與被控人被控罪行的其他人的指稱從犯所提供的證據向陪審團給予指示，警告其應謹慎接納該等無佐證證據。原因是證人可能企圖儘量減少他或她與該罪行的牽連，轉而誇大被控人的罪責。有時亦稱為從犯指示。在香港，從犯警示需要已於1994年起，透過制定現時之《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第60條廢止。另見 Accomplice；Complicity；Corroboration。 |
