日前,白某某以受贿罪、巨额财产来源不明罪被判死缓,在其死刑缓期两年执行期满依法减为无期徒刑后,终身监禁,不得减刑、假释。这是自2015年11月1日《刑法修正案(九)》施行以来,法院判处死刑缓期两年执行并决定终身监禁的第一起案件。对于判处白某某死刑缓期两年执行并决定终身监禁是否符合刑法从旧兼从轻原则的问题,学界有广泛探讨,并存在一定争议。 Recently, Bai Moumou was convicted of taking bribes and depriving a large sum of property of unknown origin of his life. After his suspended term of two years of execution was reduced to life imprisonment, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and not commuted or parole. This is the first case since the Criminal Law Amendment (IX) came into force on November 1, 2015, when the court sentenced to a two-year suspended suspended sentence and sentenced to life imprisonment. For the sentenced to Bai Moumou suspended for two years to implement and decide whether the life imprisonment consistent with the criminal law from the old and light principle, the academic community has extensive discussion, and there is some controversy.
