汉明帝时,有一件兄弟两个合伙杀人的案件,地方官不知如何判决。汉明帝认为,兄长没有教育好弟弟,判他死罪偿命,弟弟年幼无知,免去死罪。但中常侍孙章宣旨时,将旨意误说成两人都判为死罪,结果两兄弟都被处死。尚书台的官员发现后,上奏明帝,说孙章矫诏,罪当腰斩。汉明帝询问廷尉郭躬的意见。郭躬认为对孙章应处以罚金。汉明帝说:“孙章矫诏杀人,怎么能仅处罚金呢?”郭躬说:“例律规定,定罪量刑有故意过失之分,孙章传达圣旨的错误属于过失,应当从轻量刑。”明帝说:“听过孙章和这两兄弟是同乡,可能与他们有宿怨而故意这么做。”郭躬说:“虽然会有这种可能,但没有确切的证据证明孙章和他们有仇。刑罚之事绝不能凭想象和推测定罪”。汉明帝最后听从了郭躬的意见。--【南朝宋】范晔:《后汉书·卷四十六·郭躬传》
