摘 要: 民众认为不杀犯罪人药家鑫、李昌奎不足以平民愤,许多刑法学者和法官则认为两人都有自首情节,根据自首可以从宽原则和宽严相济刑事政策精神应予以免死,但两被告人的最终命运都是死刑立即执行。深究之,这源于自首可以从宽是"可以"而并非"应当",宽严相济刑事政策并非唯"宽"马首是瞻而需"宽严并济","少杀、慎杀"严格限制死刑适用的刑事政策背后的逻辑并非"不杀"。综合考量两人实施犯罪的手段残忍、性质恶劣、主观恶性极大、动机卑劣、社会危害极其严重,因而虽有自首情节还不足以免死。 Disputes arose concerning the criminal cases committed by YAO Jia -xin and LI Chang -kui. The public believed both of them should be executed to assuage people' s anger while many scholars of criminal law and the judges thought that they should be exempted from death penalty according to the principle of giving leniency to whose who confess their crimes and the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity. Both of them were executed immediately after their sentence. The criminal policy of cautious application of death penalty does not mean that death penalty should be forbidden. Though both of them confessed their offenses, they should not be spared for their cruel means of crime, vicious criminal motive and serious social harmfulness.
