MIXTURE OF EXISTING CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF JAPAN AND FORMER CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF JAPAN

日本刑事审判的特点是“简化事实认定程序，扩大量刑听证”和“审判程序的程序化、程序化”。检察官向审判法庭提交大量调查文件，律师同意，审判法官接受，然后在办公室检查。在大多数情况下，被告已经供认了他们的罪行。因此，事实调查过程被简化了。而量刑听证是庭审过程中最重要的环节。对证人和被告听证的讯问花费了审判的大部分时间。

The feature of Japanense criminal trials is "simplificatoin of fact-finding process and enlargement of sentencing hearing" and "formality, routinization of trial proceedings". The prosecutor presents a lot of investigatory documents to the trial courts, the counsel gives consent to them, and trial judges receive them, afterward inspect them in their offices.In most cases the defendant already confesses to their crimes. So the fact-finding process is simplificated. But the sentencing hearing is the most important process in the trial courts. The examination of witnesses and defendant hearing costs most time of the trials.
