证人出庭作证有利于增加案件审理的透明度、促进司法公正,对公正、合理、高效地审理刑事案件具有重要意义。当前,我国证人出庭作证不理想,其原因主要是证人出庭作证在立法上存在诸多缺陷,如对证人及其家属的保护制度不健全、证人的权利和义务不平衡等问题。笔者就如何完善刑事诉讼中证人出庭作证的问题提出个人之言。 Witness testifying in court is conducive to increasing the transparency of case hearing and promoting judicial fairness, which is of great significance to hearing criminal cases in a fair, reasonable and efficient manner. At present, the witness in our country is not ideal to testify in court.

The author made a personal statement on how to improve the witness’s appearance in court in criminal proceedings.
