据2005年8月14日的《人民法院报》报道,何家弘教授透露正在修订的刑事诉讼法拟规定“关键证人必须出庭作证”。笔者认为,这是一个积极的建议,对于促进诉讼制度的发展和进步无疑是有利的。世界司法的历史经验表明,证人出庭作证,有利于案件事实的准确认定,因为法官或陪审团不仅要听证人说了什么,而且还要看证人是怎样说 According to the People’s Court Newspaper reported on August 14, 2005, Professor He Jiahong disclosed that the Criminal Procedure Law that is being amended will stipulate that “key witnesses must testify in court.” In my opinion, this is a positive suggestion, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the development and progress of the litigation system. The historical experience of the world’s judiciary shows that the witness’s appearance in court testifies to the accurate determination of the facts of the case because the judge or jury not only needs to say what the witness said but also depends on what the witness is saying
