随着科学技术的发展,科学证据在事实认定中扮演着越来越重要的角色。然而,法官作为科学的外行,却很难对科学证据做出正确评估,我国司法实践中由于法官错误评估科学证据证明力所导致的错案也屡见不鲜。科学证据的可靠性,受到专家适格性、检材、科学原理可靠性、以及科学推论准确性等因素的影响,对于科学证据,法官应当对这些影响因素进行审查,并对不可靠的科学证据加以排除。 With the development of science and technology, scientific evidence plays an increasingly important role in fact finding. However, as a foreigner, it is very hard for judges to make a correct assessment of scientific evidence. It is not uncommon for the miscarriage of justice caused by judges’ erroneous assessment of scientific evidence in China’s judicial practice. The reliability of scientific evidence is influenced by such factors as the qualifications of experts, the reliability of samples, the reliability of scientific principles, and the accuracy of scientific inferences. For scientific evidence, judges should examine these influencing factors and evaluate unreliable scientific evidence To be excluded.
