Abstract

Abstract

Wrongful convictions hinder the realization of the goal of justice in criminal trial, which is the negative consequence of judicial operation deviating from justice. By interpreting the deviation and return of judicial justice, it reveals that the failure of substantive justice may occur under any litigation system because of the limitation of lawsuit cognition and evidence judgment, but the obstacles to the realization of procedural justice can be eliminated by means of institutional perfection. In the two typical structures of modern criminal procedure, the United States criminal procedure system is regarded as the classic paradigm of adversary system because of its highly developed due process. However, there are still a large number of wrongful convictions. Exploring the institutional efforts made by the United States in the management of wrongful convictions can provide inspiration on the reform path of reducing judicial injustice in our country. To solve the wrongful conviction cases, it is necessary to rely on the systematized governance method, and build a complete mechanism to find and correct wrongful convictions, so as to relieve the wrongful judgment in a large scale, organized and systematic way. Meanwhile, it is also indispensable to adhere to the “dynamic equilibrium” concept of criminal procedure, and the improvement of criminal procedure system should balance substantive justice and procedural justice, so as to prevent the untimely occurrence of unjust cases.
