秋後算帳?法界:洪英花是周占春第二

〔記者劉志原/台北報導〕台北地院周占春審判長日前被起訴、士林地院法官洪英花又可能遭免兼庭長,有法界人士認為,周占春曾判扁無罪,洪英花則曾發表對扁有利的法律見解,這容易引發外界「秋後算帳」的質疑,洪英花儼然是周占春第二;律師陳達成諷刺直言,這是「非常好的現象」,正好可以讓大家看清楚國民黨專制的真面目。

石宜琳質疑周案 為何不追究檢察官責任

律師石宜琳表示,檢察官認為周占春洩漏證人資料而將他起訴,他說「這根本沒有相當因果關係」,一點都不公平,因為周占春只負責核發聲請搜索票,並不是最後處理卷宗的人,石宜琳問「為何不追究檢察官的責任」,他認為,如果有一併追究檢察官的責任,外界就比較不會有秋後算帳的聯想。

陳達成:讓大家看清國民黨專制真面目

陳達成說,周占春被檢察官起訴、洪英花庭長職可能不保,任何人都可以看得出來這是秋後算帳,也讓外界可以了解,在國民黨執政下,司法是不獨立的,只要是不順國民黨的意,就會被修理,陳達成說,在民進黨執政下,就不會有這種問題。

另有法官認為,洪英花可能被免兼庭長,她的薪水福利及升遷完全不受影響,還可以讓其他的法官有機會可以歷練庭長職,雖然洪英花曾發表對扁有利言論,但應與此次的調動無關,至於周占春被起訴,多數法官都認為周占春「很倒楣」。

阿扁總統,只剩一個代號


作者 Aries | 淑修   
2010/12/10, Friday

阿扁總統被中華冥國司法以超高效率的速度,從台北看守所這個鬼地方,移到台北監獄另一個不知有沒有鬼的地方,再次回顧曹長青這位在美國的中國異議作家,以自身在中國經歷過清算的文化經驗,與在美國體驗過民主制度的自由世界,來談台灣阿扁總統所遭遇到的『百分百政治迫害』。

自從阿扁總統真的被收押後,在公開場合的台派活動,其實很少聽到這麼理性的分析與獨特的見解,大推這精彩的13分鐘內容。

關於陳前總統的案件,曹長青指出,他很早在美國就斷定這是政治迫害,他看過文革時期的輿論審判,未審先判,批鬥清算,司法迫害,很多人直到死前都沒有名字,只剩一個代號,陳前總統所遭遇的就是同樣的情況,馬英九竟能在宣判前,宴請司法人員,陳總統案件也能中途換法官,換法官的目的就是要換審判結果,以美國司法獨立,無罪推定的精神來看,陳總統所遭控訴的案件都是政治迫害,國共兩黨清算陳前總統,就是因為他是台灣人的代表,所以曹長青說當他去面會陳前總統時,他也會要陳前總統以台灣人代表的身分,繼續堅持下去,台灣人民更要發聲捍衛陳前總統的司法人權。

談談違法亂紀 / 陳昭姿

阿扁總統入監服刑,立委李俊毅表示,「我不認為政治人物可以違法亂紀,但心裡不相信扁會做這樣的事情」,他又說,「扁案檢方丟出新事證,證人也丟出證詞,扁似乎很難脫罪。」言下之意,阿扁總統罪證確鑿,罪有應得。


對於李委員的發言,個人深覺遺憾,多數民進黨同志根本未曾深入了解扁案內容,卻與多數民眾一樣,從對扁不友善的媒體獲取片段資訊。「檢方丟出新事證」公正可信嗎?是真實還是拼湊?扁案偵辦過程中,檢察官可以在司法節慶祝晚會扮裝阿扁被捕過程來消遣被告,特偵組檢察官更集體開記者招待會,說當年年底辦不出來要辭職。這種具嚴重偏見的檢察官所經手的案件,人民如何信服?台北地方法院黃程暉法官在審理外交機密費案時,在判決書中痛批特偵組的起訴內容「前後矛盾,立論失據,任意拼湊,強加比附。」


「證人也丟出證詞,扁似乎很難脫罪。」是嗎?此次阿扁被判重罪的龍潭案,證人總共七位,包括蔡銘杰、辜成允、辜仲諒、林百里、魏哲和、蔡銘哲與李界木,除蔡銘哲外,其他六位證人都說龍潭案與阿扁無關。唯一牽扯阿扁的是蔡銘哲,然而,蔡銘哲的說法卻被當事人李界木否認。偏見的檢察官與法官對絕對多數對阿扁有利的證詞都不採信,只採信唯一死咬阿扁的證人之詞,阿扁想脫罪當然是難如登天了!


至於台北地方法院公然違反「法定法官原則」撤換不中意的法官,二次金改案判決結果,未如藍營預期, 馬 先生表示判決應符合「人民期待」,甚至在「司法宴」後最高法院違反慣例,自為裁決迅速將龍潭購地案與陳敏薰人事案三審定讞。這樣的司法,要人民相信很難,要人民尊重更不可能!


扁案從頭到尾就是政治迫害,何來違法亂紀,希望民進黨人發言前先用點心了解案情,全盤了解所有相關人員包括被告與所有證人的發言內容,不應只聽取偏見的檢察官與法官的說法。扁案一審的過程內容,可在「鯨魚網站」或「台灣e新聞」網站資料庫中查詢!

An excellent website on human rights in Tibet (關於圖博人權的一個好網站)

http://tchrd.org/ (Click me!)

I check for press releases on this website every day. I became aware of it during the 2008 massacre in Tibet. Few media reported on the aftermaths and subsequent persecutions. But this Dharamsala-based human rights organization has been just outstanding in confirming and announcing what actually happened!

INDEPENDENCE FOR TIBET!!!


這是我每天都會上去看有沒有新消息的網站。剛開始知道這個網站是在2008圖博大屠殺時,屠殺後幾個月有密集的秋後算帳和迫害發生,許多媒體不會報導,但這個總部設在達蘭薩拉的人權組織總是努力確認和公布實際發生的事情!

圖博獨立加油!!!

Some injustices regarding Chen Shui-Bian's cases (關於扁案的一些不正義)

AFTER judge Chou Chan-Chuen (周占春) ruled the release of Chen Shui-Bian (陳水扁), all cases involving Chen were transferred to Tsai Shou-Hsun (蔡守訓). The Grand Justices of the Republic of China in exile announced that Taipei District Court's regulation on case dispatching (台北地院分案要點) does not violate the constitution. However, the transferring of the cases to judge Tsai did NOT obey Taipei District Court's regulation on case dispatching (台北地院分案要點), which requires a bureau attended by a strict majority of presidents of courts (庭長), among which a strict majority must agree to be able to transfer the cases. There are 18 presidents of courts. So the strict majority is at least 10, out of which at least 6 must agree for transferring the cases. But the bureau was attended by only 5 presidents of courts! Furthermore, even if Taipei District Court's regulation on case dispatching does not itself violate the due process of law, they should have transferred the cases before the judge ruled ANYTHING. After judge Chou ruled Chen's release, for example, the outsiders were not having zero knowledge about Chou's evaluation of evidences. Changing the judges via administrative means (e.g., by a bureau of presidents of courts), then, violates judicial independence even if Taipei District Court's regulation on case dispatching itself does not.

在周占春裁定無保釋放陳水扁後,陳的案子移給了蔡守訓審理。中華民國流亡政府的大法官宣布台北地院分案要點是合憲的。但是,分案的過程並未依照分案要點進行,該要點規定須有超過半數庭長出席庭長會議,其中超過半數同意方得更換法官;北院有18個庭, 其中過半數至少為10, 10裡面的過半數至少為6, 然而卻只有五位庭長出席庭長會議,就把法官換好了。另外,即便台北地院分案要點本身並未違逆正當法律程序,也應該在法官做出任何相關裁定前換好法官。例如,在周裁定無保釋放陳水扁後,外界對其心證已非完全無從猜想或知悉,在此情況下以行政手段(例如庭長會議)更換法官將違逆司法獨立(即便分案要點本身不違逆司法獨立亦然)。


In 2008, prosecutors of the Special Investigation Division (特偵組) vowed to quit their jobs should they fail to conclude the cases before the end of the year ("年底前...沒辦出結果就下台"). During the judiciary festival (司法節), prosecutors who were investigating Chen's cases wrote and performed a play that ridicules Chen's being hand-cuffed. Justice Minister Wang Ching-Feng (王清峰) watched the show with laughter. She also talked about Chen's cases on TV.

2008年,特偵組集體發誓年底辦不出來就下台。在司法節,當時_正在_偵辦扁案的檢察官親自編劇及演出嘲弄陳水扁被上手銬的戲碼,出席的法務部長王清峰則哈哈大笑,另外,王部長也在電視上談論扁的個案。


Even before Chen was charged, he has been detained for one month. Until now, he has been detained for more than 700 days. Because of Chen's extraordinarily long detention and limited time to meet with his lawyers, he's got very little time to prepare to defend himself, as opposed to the prosecutors' abundance of time and resources for preparing their arguments. During the detention, Chen performed hunger strikes several times. As punishments, he was prohibited from visitations and outdoor activities.

即便在扁被起訴之前,他就已經被羈押了一個月,至今,他已經被羈押逾七百天。也因為超長的羈押和短暫的面見律師時間,他只有很少的時間能夠準備為自己辯護,不像檢方有充足的時間準備說辭。在羈押過程中,扁數次絕食抗議,但卻遭到禁止放風和禁止會客的處罰。


There are many other ridiculous things around. The media are mostly against Chen. They've been hiding out or spending very little time on evidences favoring Chen and spamming whatever disadvantageous to him, with many of the latter proven false without being clarified on the news. The media often knew the charges against Chen in advance. However, none has investigated how the information leaked. During a court session, Chen felt pain in his chest. However, judge Tsai immediately ruled that Chen goes back to detention without any physical examination. During the detention, all Chen's communications with the outside world are monitored carefully. But the Special Investigation Division (特偵組) still sought his ward for the so-called "secret documents." The Supreme Prosecutors Office (最高法院檢查署) issued a subpoena to Chen's 3-year-old granddaughter, saying that there is necessity that she comes to the office ("認有請 台端來署說明之必要"). The Legislative Yuan amended the law to cancel Chen's courtesy in a retroactive way. Some interrogation sessions were recorded in a barely audible way. Li Jie-Mu (李界木) was even coerced during the interrogations with "Should you say it is the consensus of all, then everyone is finished," "Don't bet with me... you will be sentenced to life imprisonment" ("大家共識, 大家一起死," "不要跟我賭啦... 一定判無期"). There are many other controversies during the interrogations.

還有相當多荒謬的事情。媒體大多數反扁,他們隱藏或只花非常少的時間被導對扁有利的訊息,對扁不利的消息則是大力傳播,其中有很多事後已被確認為誤但並未被澄清。媒體也經常事先知道起訴內容,但從未有人調查過訊息是如何洩漏的。在一次開庭時,扁的胸口作痛,但蔡法官下令不必做任何檢查、直接還押。羈押期間,扁與外界的所有通訊都受到檢查,但特偵組卻仍舊以扁的牢房可能藏有機密文件為由,進行搜索。最高法院檢查署發了一個傳票給扁的三歲孫女,上面寫著「認有請 台端來署說明之必要」。立法院修改卸任正副總統禮遇條例,竟以溯及既往之方式取消扁的禮遇金。有些偵訊的錄音難以清楚聽到,而李界木也在偵訊期間被威脅"大家共識, 大家一起死"、"不要跟我賭啦... 一定判無期"等,偵訊過程尚有諸多其他爭議。


A recent event is that judge Chou ruled Chen's innocence in the financial consolidation case. President Ma Ying-Jeou (馬英九) immediately responded that verdicts should not run counter to the people's reasonable expectation. (During his presidency, he also said that Chen reminds him of Philippine's Ferdinand Marcos. In March 2008 he also said that bullets have been loaded and the death will be miserable "子彈已經上膛會死得很難看.") Then he invited officials of judicial affairs for a "judicial reform." His ruling party, the Chinese Kuomintang (a.k.a. Chinese Nationalist Party), also protested Chou's judgment and threatened to amend the law that could "expel improper judges."

周占春最近在二次金改案判扁無罪。總統馬英九立刻宣示判決不能夠違背合理期待,並宴請法界高層談論「司法改革」。(在總統任內,馬還說過扁令他聯想到馬可仕,2008年三月他也說過子彈已經上膛,會死得很難看。)執政黨也反對此判決並威脅要修正法官法,該法可能會「淘汰不適任法官」。
