Expert: "murderer appears" right a wrong costs
As yamcha Team technical advisor Zhu Mingyong lawyers criminal defense experts said that in recent years, whether it's Vocative case, Nie Shubin also was Lin, Zhao Zuohai, if not the real killer appears, or the dead return, grievance almost no possibility of overthrow.
However, by virtue of a murderer or dead to a very high cost to seek redress of, take for instance the murderer of cases after all these years, the victims have died, a lot of evidence has been lost, and many live and because of changes in and unable to carry out the investigation, therefore, the alleged murderer made it hard to make a further determination.
Causes of injustice, and lawyers said, in part because handling of evidence standard requires low, another, the extortion of confessions by torture. Zhu's lawyer, "a person's grievance may well understand, 4 the case of the accused, linkages on the testimony, evidence and convict, fraud is not a person, two person can easily complete." It can be seen that yamcha's case is typical of human intention to manufacture grievances.
Not rely on really fierce and died who of appeared overthrow grievance, Zhu lawyer said, according to currently judicial reform proposed of, to trial for Center, put case identified put in court Shang, strictly followed evidence referee principles, implementation trial real of, let witnesses appear testified, do no hard evidence of case followed "suspected crime from no" of principles, is ensure not produced grievance of concept and premise.

江西省乐平市奸杀案：4人无罪释放 媒体:真凶出现才能洗冤？|冤案|诱供|乐平_新闻资讯
12月22日，一件13年的疑案——江西乐平“5.24”奸杀案再审宣判。江西省高级人民法院依法撤销原审判决，宣告黄志强、方春平、程发根、程立和无罪。此前，4名被告人因故意杀人、抢劫、强奸、敲诈勒索罪被判处死刑缓期执行。
宣判后4人反应平静，随即身挂着红缎大红花以自由人的身份走出法院，对此结果，辩护律师表示：“知道这一天会到来”。今天，带大家来详细了解下这桩案件。

奸杀案判决：判死刑后重审上诉改判死缓
2000年5月23日晚，江西省乐平市中店村发生抢劫、强奸、碎尸案，当地绿宝超市老板蒋某某和一外地女子郝某约会时双双遇害。2002年6月，中店村程立和、黄志强、方春平、程发根、汪深兵五村民被警方认定为凶手。
2003年7月17日，景德镇中级人民法院一审判处程立和、黄志强、方春平、程发根四人死刑。当时法院认定，上述四人抢劫蒋泽才不成，合力将其用刀砍死，郝某逃跑后被追上，五人对其进行轮奸、杀害，次日又将其碎尸、抛弃。不过，郝某的尸体至今未发现。
四人不服一审判决，上诉至江西省高院，2004年1月，江西省高院认为案件事实不清，证据不足，四被告人口供前后有明显不一致，裁定撤销原判决，发回重审。2004年11月18日，景德镇中院经过重审，再次判处四人死刑。四人再次上诉至江西省高院。2006年5月31日，江西省高院作出终审判决，认定原判对4人所犯罪行定罪准确、审判程序合法，但“鉴于本案具体情况”，改判4人死刑，缓期两年执行。判决生效后，四名被告人与家属一直对判决结果进行申诉。
“真凶”出现法院再审：案件疑点多
2012年1月，乐平公安召开新闻发布会，宣布2004年以来发生的十余女性被侵害、4起命案成功告破，嫌疑人方林崽涉嫌绑架、强奸、猥亵、
抢劫、杀人。2013年10月，方林崽在法庭上自认他才是“5.24”真凶。
2015年7月31日，江西高院决定立案复查该案。
2016年4月27日，江西高院作出再审乐平“5.24案”决定。
2016年11月22日上午，江西高院还就本案召开庭前会议，决定2016年11月30日开庭再审此案。
据报道，江西高院决定再审后，侦查机关补交了一份新证据，该证据显示案发现场提取的27个烟头中，有3个烟头上提取的DNA与四申诉人同村人方林崽的唾液DNA吻合率大于99.99%。程立和等四人的代理律师一致认为，此案疑点颇多，四人不仅均无作案时间；现场也未采集到四申诉人的任何指纹、脚印、DNA等客观证据；并且四人供述的内容与现场勘查不一致，也与尸体检验报告相矛盾。
终审判决：证据不足，不排除指供诱供可能
江西省高级人民法院再审认为，第一、二审判决认定原审被告人黄志强、方春平、程发根犯故意杀人罪、抢劫罪、强奸罪、敲诈勒索罪及原审被告人程立和犯故意杀人罪、抢劫罪、强奸罪，主要依据四原审被告人的有罪供述，以及该有罪供述与在案其他证据印证一致。
但根据再审庭审中检辩双方出示的物证检验报告、法医物证鉴定书等新证据，以及江西省高级人民法院在立案审查和再审期间调取的新证据，四原审被告人的有罪供述与上述新证据及原审卷宗内其他证据存在无法排除的矛盾和无法解释的疑问，四原审被告人有罪供述的真实性存疑；同时，本案不能排除存在指供、诱供的可能，四原审被告人有罪供述的合法性存疑。且本案缺乏能够认定四原审被告人作案的客观证据。
因此，原判据以定案的证据没有形成完整锁链，没有达到证据确实、充分的法定证明标准。原审认定四原审被告人犯罪的事实不清，证据不足，不能认定四原审被告人有罪。
对四原审被告人及其辩护人提出本案存在刑讯逼供的意见，因无证据证实，江西省高级人民法院不予采纳。对辩护人提出蒋某某、郝某被害案系方某某所为的意见，因方某某案不属于本案审理范围，法院不予采纳。对四原审被告人及其辩护人提出的应当依法改判四原审被告人无罪的意见，对江西省人民检察院提出的原判事实不清，证据不足，建议依法作出公正判决的意见，法院均予以采纳。据此，江西省高级人民法院宣告黄志强、方春平、程发根、程立和无罪。

11点钟左右，4名被告人在大批媒体的簇拥下，身披着红色缎子质地的大红花，陆续走出法院，与家人团聚。曾经作为被告人，经历了死刑、死缓，如今被宣告无罪无罪的程立和也和记者进行了对话：

记者：在工作方面有什么打算么？

探员追访
律师：准备启动国家赔偿绝不放弃追责
在案件宣判后，江西省高级人民法院表示，将就本案是否存在违法审判问题展开深入调查，并表示将认真汲取此案的深刻教训，在今后的审判工作中，严把案件事实、证据、适用法律和程序关，努力让人民群众在每一个司法案件中感受到公平正义。
程立和的辩护律师王飞表示，有关当事人的国家赔偿，辩护团队还要经过商议，以确保对当事人最有利的原则安排律师代理，同时，当事人绝不会放弃对案件的追责。
专家分析
专家：靠“真凶出现”洗冤成本高
作为乐平案团队技术顾问的刑事辩护专家朱明勇律师介绍说，近几年，无论是呼格案、聂树斌案还是佘祥林、赵作海案，如果不是真凶出现或者亡者归来，冤案几乎没有被推翻的可能。
但是，凭借真凶或者亡者来给冤案平反的成本是很高的，就拿真凶出现的案件来说，时隔多年，被害人已经死亡，很多现场证据已经灭失，很多现场也因为变化而无法进行勘查，因此，对所谓的真凶也就很难做进一步的认定。
对冤案产生的原因，朱律师分析说，一来是办案机关对证据标准要求低，二来是刑讯逼供。在朱律师看来，“一个人的冤案可能还好理解，这个案子4个被告人，关于证言、证据以及证明有罪的相互关联，作假也不是一个人两个人轻易就能完成的”。由此可见，乐平案是一起典型的人为故意制造的冤案。
不依赖真凶与亡者的出现推翻冤案，朱律师表示，根据目前司法改革提出的，以审判为中心，把案件查明放在法庭上，严格遵循证据裁判原则，落实庭审实质化，让证人出庭作证，做到没有确凿证据的案件遵循“疑罪从无”的原则，是确保不产生冤案的理念和前提。
