法律英语讲座之十一 美国刑事诉讼法(中)
36谈美国刑事诉讼法，不可避免地就要谈到陪审团制度。
陪审团制度是英美法系的重要组成部分，也是诉讼体系中非常有特色的一部分，这种制度对美国的民主生活1和司法体系有着深远的影响。
笔者本期将专门对这一制度以及与其有关的法律英语内容作一个介绍。
陪审团一般分为两类：小陪审团（pet it j ur y ）和大陪审团（gr and j ur y ）。
(一)小陪审团（peti t j ur y ）美国小陪审团一般由12人组成，人少的话则规定由6人组成即可。
小陪审团在民事和刑事案件中都有采用。
下面是一段对小陪审团的介绍：Incri m inal cases it s taskis t odeter m ine punishable gui lt,andi t usual lydoes sow ithli ttle cr itici sm .Its positi onas a bul w arkof liberty,a pr otector against executi ve oppression,and as a m ode of l esseningthe r igor s of overlystrictlegislationissecure.T he civi l j ury's taskis generallytodet erm ine li abilit ytopaym oneydam ages.It i snotew or thy,how ever,that theci vil juryis not now andnever hasbeenusedinequit ycases,althougha few states pr ovide for equi tyjurytrial s inverylim i tedci rcum stances.刑事案件中小陪审团的主要任务是判定当事人是否犯有应受惩罚的罪行，其所起的作用通常很少受到非议。

34第十讲的内容中我们了解了美国刑事诉讼法中的基本原则——“正当程序”原则。
那么所谓的“正当程序”在美国刑事诉讼制度中究竟包括了哪些程序步骤呢？本期笔者准备就这一问题和读者好好探讨一下。
请注意，这可是相当有意思的话题，因为说不定你会发现许多平时在欧美影视作品中耳熟能详但又似懂非懂的法律名词哦。
刑事诉讼制度的具体步骤一般来说，犯罪嫌疑人从被逮捕到受到起诉确认罪行所经历的步骤有：１． Ａｒｒｅｓｔ（逮捕）Ｏｎｃｅ ｔｈｅ ｓｕｓｐｅｃｔ ｈａｓ ｂｅｅｎ ｉｄｅｎｔｉｆｉｅｄ， ｔｈｅ ｐｏｌｉｃｅ ｍａｙ ｍａｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｅｓｔ ｉｆ ｔｈｅｙ ｏｂｔａｉｎ ａｎ ａｒｒｅｓｔ ｗａｒｒａｎｔ ｆｒｏｍａ ｍａｇｉｓｔｒａｔｅ ｏｒ ｐｏｓｓｅｓｓ ｓｕｆｆｉｃｉｅｎｔ ｋｎｏｗｌｅｄｇｅ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｆａｃｔｓ ａｎｄ ｃｉｒｃｕｍｓｔａｎｃｅｓ ｔｏ ｌｅａｄ ａ ｒｅａｓｏｎａｂｌｅ ｐｅｒｓｏｎ ｔｏｃｏｎｃｌｕｄｅ ｔｈａｔ ｔｈｅ ｓｕｓｐｅｃｔ ｃｏｍｍｉｔｔｅｄ ｏｒ ｉｓ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓ ｏｆ ｃｏｍｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ ｔｈｅ ｃｒｉｍｅ．一旦犯罪嫌疑人被确认，如满足以下情形警察就可以对其实施逮捕，即：警方得到治安法官的逮捕证；警方掌握的充分的事实依据已可使任何一个理智人认定犯罪嫌疑人正在或已经实施了犯罪。
那么，如果警方抓错了人，这又叫做什么呢？Ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｈａｖｅ ｂｅｅｎ ｔｈｅ ｓｕｂｊｅｃｔ ｏｆ ａｎ ａｒｒｅｓｔ ｂｙ ｔｈｅ ｐｏｌｉｃｅ ｏｒ ｏｔｈｅｒ ｓｔａｔｅ ｏｒ ｆｅｄｅｒａｌ ｏｆｆｉｃｉａｌ ｗｈｉｃｈ ｔｏｏｋ ｐｌａｃｅｗｉｔｈｏｕｔ ｐｒｏｂａｂｌｅ ｃａｕｓｅ， ｉｎ ｂａｄ ｆａｉｔｈ ｏｒ ｉｆ ｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ ｄｅｐｒｉｖｅｄ ｙｏｕ ｏｆ ｙｏｕｒ ｌｉｂｅｒｔｙ， ｙｏｕ ｍａｙ ｂｅ ａｂｌｅ ｔｏ ｍａｋｅａ ｃｌａｉｍ ａｎｄ ｒｅｃｏｖｅｒ ｄａｍａｇｅｓ， ｉｎｃｌｕｄｉｎｇ ａｔｔｏｒｎｅｙ＇ｓ ｆｅｅｓ ａｎｄ ｃｏｓｔｓ． Ｙｏｕｒ ｒｉｇｈｔｓ ａｒｅ ｓａｆｅｇｕａｒｄｅｄ ｂｙ ｂｏｔｈ ｔｈｅＵｎｉｔｅｄ Ｓｔａｔｅｓ Ｃｏｎｓｔｉｔｕｔｉｏｎ ａｎｄ ｓｔａｔｅ ｃｏｍｍｏｎ ｌａｗ． Ｆａｌｓｅ ｉｍｐｒｉｓｏｎｍｅｎｔ ｉｓ ｆｒｅｑｕｅｎｔｌｙ ａｌｌｅｇｅｄ ｂｙ ａ ｐｅｒｓｏｎ ｗｈｏｆｅｅｌｓ ｔｈａｔ ｈｅ ｏｒ ｓｈｅ ｗａｓ ｕｎｌａｗｆｕｌｌｙ ａｒｒｅｓｔｅｄ． Ｉｆ ｔｈｅ ｐｏｌｉｃｅ ｄｉｄ ｎｏｔ ｈａｖｅ ＂ｐｒｏｂａｂｌｅ ｃａｕｓｅ＂ ｔｏ ａｒｒｅｓｔ ｙｏｕ， ｙｏｕｃａｎ ｓｕｅ ｆｏｒ ｆａｌｓｅ ｉｍｐｒｉｓｏｎｍｅｎｔ．如果警察或其他州或联邦官员无合理原因、违反规定对你实行逮捕，或者有人非法剥夺你的自由，你可以提起诉讼，要求赔偿损失（包括要求对方支付律师费和其他费用）。
美国刑事案件的法律(3篇)
第1篇一、引言美国刑事案件法律体系复杂，涉及众多法律条文和程序。
本文将从美国刑事案件的定义、犯罪分类、侦查程序、起诉程序、审判程序、刑罚制度等方面进行概述。
二、美国刑事案件的定义在美国，刑事案件是指违反联邦或州法律，侵犯社会公共利益的行为。
这些行为可能包括谋杀、抢劫、盗窃、毒品交易等。
刑事案件的当事人被称为被告人，而控告被告人的人或机构被称为检察官。
三、犯罪分类美国刑事案件主要分为重罪和轻罪两大类。
1. 重罪：指对社会危害性较大的犯罪，如谋杀、强奸、抢劫等。
重罪的刑罚通常较为严厉，可能包括长期监禁或死刑。
2. 轻罪：指对社会危害性较小的犯罪，如盗窃、欺诈、交通违规等。
轻罪的刑罚相对较轻，可能包括罚款、社区服务或短期监禁。
四、侦查程序1. 现场勘查：警察到达犯罪现场后，对现场进行勘查，收集证据，寻找目击证人。
2. 询问证人：警察对目击者、嫌疑人进行询问，了解案件情况。
3. 抓捕嫌疑人：根据调查情况，警察可以逮捕嫌疑人，并将其带至警局接受审讯。
4. 侦查终结：经过调查取证，侦查机关认为案件事实清楚，证据确凿，可以终结侦查。
五、起诉程序1. 起诉决定：侦查机关将案件移送至检察院，由检察官决定是否对嫌疑人提起公诉。
2. 起诉书：检察官向法院提交起诉书，明确指控嫌疑人的犯罪事实。
3. 检察官出庭支持公诉：在审判过程中，检察官代表国家出庭支持公诉，对嫌疑人进行指控。
六、审判程序1. 逮捕令：法院根据起诉书，签发逮捕令，将嫌疑人逮捕归案。
2. 审前听证：法院对嫌疑人进行审前听证，确定是否批准保释。
3. 审判：法院依法对案件进行审判，根据证据和事实，作出判决。
4. 上诉：对一审判决不服的当事人可以向上一级法院提起上诉。
七、刑罚制度1. 惩罚原则：美国刑罚制度以惩罚和改造相结合为原则，旨在使罪犯认识到自己的错误，重新融入社会。

3. 刑罚执行：根据判决结果，法院将刑罚交由相关机构执行。
法律英语学习 美国刑诉程序(3)
法律英语学习| 美国刑诉程序（3）前两期，为大家介绍了了美国刑事诉讼程序的（1）逮捕程序，（2）案件开始程序，（3）提审程序。
（4）提审程序后，（5）庭审程序，以及（6）庭审时间的设置。
本期继续介绍美国刑事诉讼程序的（7）审判程序，（8）判决程序以及（9）上诉程序。
（7）审判如何进行？在审判开始之前，律师会参与选择陪审团。
选择陪审团的过程称为“voir dire”。
在此过程中，双方的律师都会问讯候选陪审员，以确保陪审员公平公正。
在律师出示证据和证人之前，双方均有权就此案作出开场陈述（opening statements）。
在审判期间，律师通过证人证明其所看到或知道的事情，来提供证据。
在提出所有证据之后，律师们会作出结论。
最后，陪审团决定被告是否有罪或无罪。
陪审团必须超出合理怀疑范围外认定被告有罪。
（8）判决程序如果陪审团认定被告无罪，则称其为“无罪释放(acquittal)”，被告将被释放，并且将永远不得因同一罪行再次受审，这被称为“双重审判风险(double jeopardy)”。
认定无罪与认定清白不同，无罪只是意味着陪审团并不相信被告在超出合理怀疑范围外是有罪的。
逮捕和无罪释放仍将在被告的个人记录中保留。
如果被告被错误地逮捕和指控，并且想要将逮捕从记录中删除，则必须在法官面前举行听证会以确定被告清白。
证明清白往往比提出对罪名的合理怀疑要困难得多。
如果被告被判有罪，被告将被判刑。
（9）审判后——上诉程序如果被告人在审判之后被判有罪，则有权提出上诉。
上诉可以有很多原因，但上诉也非常困难，所以必须咨询律师。
申诉也有重要的截止日期。
如果错过截止日期，上诉很可能会被驳回。
• 对于轻罪案件，必须在判决或命令发出之日起30天内提交上诉书。
• 对于重罪案件，必须在判决或命令发出之日起60天内提交上诉书。
当事人只能在以下情况下提出上诉：1. 当事人认为审判中没有足够的证据来证明判决是正确的；2. 当事人认为审判期间或之前存在法律上的错误导致错案。

美国的刑事诉讼规则中很强调对被告人权利的 保护，因此有许许多多“程序保障”（procedural safeguards）。美国的刑事诉讼制度对被告人的保护 “太多了”，以至于在某些情况下不得不牺牲社会 安全和公众利益。刑事司法系统不能有效地打击犯 罪活动，这显然是美国社会中犯罪问题严重的原因 之一。有些美国学者批评美国的刑事司法系统 (criminal justice system)是“不公正的无系统”(“nojustice non-system”)。
法律英语学习 美国刑诉程序(2)
法律英语学习| 美国刑诉程序（2）写在前面：本文详述美国刑事诉讼的全过程，篇幅较长，故分三期为大家呈现。
上一期，带大家了解了美国刑事诉讼程序的（1）逮捕程序，（2）案件开始程序，（3）提审程序。
本期继续介绍（4）提审后程序，（5）庭审程序，以及（6）庭审时间的设置。
（4）提审程序后在轻罪案件（misdemeanor）中，如果被告在提审之后审判之前，提出无罪辩护：检方和被告方将会交换信息，该环节被称为“调查取证(discovery)”。
被告可能会被限制其能够接触到的信息，但通常律师不会。
这是因为法律要求律师在准备辩护时保护证人的身份，以使证人不会受到威胁。
任何一方都可以提出审前动议，包括撤诉动议、驳回案件、或禁止在审判中使用某些证据。
被告的异议可以转为有罪或无异议。
控辩双方可以交涉如何在不经审判的情况下解决案件。
在重罪案件（felony）中，提审过后，如果案件没有得到解决或被驳回，法官会举行初步听证会。
在初步听证会上，法官将决定是否有足够的证据表明被告犯下了罪行，使被告必须出庭受审。
如果法官判定有足够的证据，检察官将提交一份名为“信息表”的文件。
然后，根据信息表，被告将第二次被提审。
之后，被告进入认罪协议或审判程序。
审判前：• 检方和被告方将会交换信息。
这被称为“调查取证(discovery)”。
• 任何一方都可以提出审前动议，包括撤诉动议、驳回案件、或禁止在审判中使用某些证据。
• 被告的异议可以转为有罪或无异议。
• 控辩双方可以交涉如何在不经审判的情况下解决案件。
（5）庭审程序刑事案件中的被告（违规除外）有权让陪审团判定其有罪或无罪。
因此，在审判之前，被告需要决定是否由陪审团审判（陪审团来决定）或法庭审判（法官来判决）。
通常情况下，被告会选择陪审团审判，因为他们希望陪审团来听取证据，并以此判定他们是否有罪。
但有时也可能会出现辩护律师建议在没有陪审团的情况下进行法庭审判的情况。
被控犯罪的每个人在被判有罪之前，即在审判中被证明有罪或在审判前认罪，在法律上都被认定是无罪的。

美国刑事诉讼法规定英文版
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law …在一切刑事訴訟中，被告應享受下列之權利：發生罪案之州或區域之公正陪審團予以迅速之公開審判，其區域當以法律先確定之；Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333 (1966), was a United States Supreme Court case that examined the rights of freedom of the press （新聞自由）as outlined in the 1st Amendment when weighed against a defendant…s right to a fair trial （受公平審判權）as required by the 6th Amendment.After suffering a trial court conviction（定罪）of second-degree murder（二級謀殺）for the bludgeoning （棍棒毆打的）death of his pregnant（懷孕的）wife, Sam Sheppard challenged the verdict（陪審團裁定）as the product of an unfair trial（不公正審判）.Sheppard, who maintained his innocence（無辜）of the crime, alleged that the trial judge failed to protect him from the massive, widespread, and prejudicial（有偏見的）publicity（公開宣揚）that attended（出席、伴隨）his prosecution（起訴）.陪審團宣告無罪Once acquitted（宣告無罪）, a defendant may not be retried（重新審判）for the same offense（同一犯罪行為）: “A verdict（陪審團裁定）of acquittal（宣告無罪）, although not followed by any judgment（法院判決）, is a bar to a subsequent prosecution for the same offense.“ Acquittal by a jury is generally final and cannot be appealed（上訴）by the prosecution（檢方）.法院自己判無罪An acquittal in a trial by judge (bench trial) is also generally not appealable by the prosecution（檢方）. A trial judge may normally enter an acquittal if he deems the evidence insufficient for conviction（不足以定罪）. If the judge makes this ruling before the jury reaches its verdict, the judge…s determination is final. If, however, the judge overrules（推翻）a conviction by the jury, the prosecution may appeal to have the conviction reinstated（恢復）證據不足撤銷定罪If a defendant appeals a conviction and is successful in having it overturned（推翻）, they are subject to retrial（接受重審）.An exception arises if the verdict is overturned on the grounds of evidentiary insufficiency（證據不足）, rather than on the grounds of procedural faults（程序錯誤）.不同罪名Another exception arises in cases of conviction for lesser offenses（較輕罪名）. If a defendant charged with murder in the first degree（一級謀殺）is convicted for murder in the second degree, and later the jury…s conviction is overturned on procedural grounds, the defendant may be retried for second degree but not firstdegree murder; the jury, by convicting the defendant of second degree murder, is deemed to have implicitly（暗示）acquitted them of first degree murder.同一犯罪De fendants may not more than once be placed in jeopardy for the “same offense”（同一犯罪行為）. Sometimes, however, the same conduct may violate different statutes. The defendant had first been convicted of operating an automobile without the owner…s consent, and l ater of stealing（偷竊）the same automobile. The Supreme Court concluded that the same evidence was necessary to prove both offenses, and that in effect there was only one offense. Therefore, it overturned the second conviction.審判無效mistrialMistrials（審判無效）are generally not covered by the double jeopardy clause. If a judge dismisses the case or concludes the trial without deciding the facts in the defendant's favor (for example, by dismissing the case on procedural grounds), the case is a mistrial and may normally be retried.Furthermore, if a jury cannot reach a verdict（陪審團無法達成裁定）, the judge may declare a mistrial and order a retrial. When the defendant moves for（提議）a mistrial, there is no bar to retrial, even if the prosecutor or judge caused the error that forms the basis of the motion.雙重主權The clause, it has been held, does not prevent separate trials by different governments, and the state and federal governments are considered “separate sovereigns”（不同主權）. Therefore, one may be prosecuted for a crime in a state court, and prosecuted for the same crime in another state, a foreign country, or (most commonly) in a federal court.球隊隊員強暴啦啦隊員In March 2006 Crystal Gail Mangum, an African American student at North Carolina Central University who worked as a stripper（脫衣舞女）,dancer and escort（儀隊）, falsely accused three white Duke University students, members of the Duke Blue Devils men…s lacrosse（曲棍球）team, of raping her at a party held at the house of two team's captains in Durham, North Carolina on March 13, 2006.DNA檢測Shortly after the party, the prosecution ordered 46 of the 47 team members to provide DNA samples.On Monday, April 10, 2006, it was revealed that DNA testing had failed to connect any of the 46 tested members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team.照片指認問題During the photo identifications（照片指認）, Mangum was told that she would be viewing Duke University lacrosse players who attended the party, and was asked if she remembered seeing them at the party and in what capacity.this was essentially a “multiple-choice test（複選題）in which there were no wrong answers",… "[t]he officer was telling the witness that all are suspects, and say, in effect, 'Pick three.'U.S. Department of Justice guidelines suggest to include at least five non-suspectfiller photos for each suspect included撤回起訴On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped（撤回）all charges and declared the three players innocent（無辜）. Cooper stated that the charged players –Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans –were victims of a “tragic rush to accuse.”（急於指控之悲劇）檢察官被除名That June, Nifong was disbarred for “dishonesty（不誠實）, fraud（詐欺）, deceit （欺騙）and misrepresentation（不實陳述）”, making Nifong the first prosecutor in North Carolina history to lose his law license（證照）based on actions in a case. Nifong was found guilty of criminal contempt（藐視）and served one day in jail. Mangum never faced any charges for her false accusations as Cooper declined to prosecute her.法律倫理“Legal ethics” （法律倫理）in the United States is generally understood to primarily apply to lawyers, while codes of professional responsibility（專門職業人員責任）also apply in a derivative sense (indirectly) to non-lawyers who work with lawyers, such as paralegals（律師助理、法務）or private investigators（私人調查員）.美國律師公會職業行為規則The American Bar Association （美國律師公會）has promulgated（公布）the Model Rules of Professional Conduct （職業行為模範規則）which, while formally only a recommendation by a private body, have been influential in many jurisdictions.各州州法自行規定律師執業守則In the United States, the practice of law is regulated by the governments of the individual states and territories（領域）.Each state or territory has a code of professional conduct dictating rules of ethics. These may be adopted by the respective state legislatures and/or judicial systems.各州懲戒權Every town in the United States has a regulatory（管制性）body (usually called a state bar association) that polices（維持）lawyer conduct. When lawyers are licensed （被許可）to practice(職業) in a state, those lawyers subject themselves to this authority. Overall responsibility often lies with the highest court in a state (such as state supreme court).懲戒Lawyers who fail to comply with（遵守）local rules of ethics may be subjected to discipline（懲戒）ranging from private (non-public) reprimand（訓斥）to disbarment （取消資格）.。

4.美国乡间小镇警察局通常只有一、两名警察；
5.警察属于当地政府雇员，装备薪水均由地方财政
开支，因此警察局规模的大小、人员的多少，完 全取决于当地政府的财政能力和维护治安的实际 需要；
6.大学校园、桥梁隧道等重要设施也都有自己的警 察；
7.各州、县、市、镇警察（警徽标志、着装样式等 各不相同）在其管辖范围内独立行使职权；

（二）州法院
凡宪法未规定属于联邦法院管辖而又未禁止各州管辖的案
件，皆由州法院管辖。所以州的司法权较广泛，由州法院
审理的案件约占全国案件的90%。州法院分普通法院和专 门法院，专门法院通常是初审法院，如未成年人法院、家

第一节 美国刑事司法制度的形成和特点
三、美国刑事诉讼的宪法保障
美国刑事司法制度的最大特点，就是将一些直接涉及公民
人权和自由的诉讼行为上升到宪法高度，为公民在刑事诉讼
中的权利提供宪法性的保障。
1.获得律师帮助的权利
（1）美国宪法第六修正案规定该权利；
（1）源自第六修正案；
（2）内容包括两个方面：要求证人出庭作证的权利；
提出辩护的权利，包括被告人传唤己方证人和提 出自己关于案件事实的说法的权利。

法制建设也是如此。
中国法制建设，包括中国刑事诉讼法制的改革和健全，既要立足中国国情，不断总结自己的经验，也应当研究外国的法制建设情况，借鉴他们的经验，以奏 "他山之石，可以攻玉"之效。
正因为如此，由我主持的《中国政法大学刑事法律研究中心》，在原来《刑事诉讼制度改革研究》课题组工作的基础上，继续对若干西方国家的刑事诉讼法典组织翻译出版，《美国联邦刑事诉讼规则和证据规则》就是其中之一。
我们感谢卞建林博士对这部法典的翻译付出了辛勤的劳动。
由于美国的联邦刑事诉讼规则和证据规则规定得比较原则，比较简明，不象大陆法系国家成文的刑事诉讼法典那样系统全面，为了使读者概括了解这两部规则，我们请他对美国的刑事诉讼制度和证据制度作一简介。
卞建林博士曾于１９９３年８月至１９９４年８月作为访问学者在美国纽约大学法学院进修一年，对美国刑事诉讼制度和证据制度有比较系统的研究，相信他的介绍定会有助于读者对美国刑事司法制度的了解。
最后，我们感谢美国福特基金会对《美国联邦刑事诉讼----------------------- Page 4-----------------------规则和证据规则》的出版予以资助。

双语法律百科美国刑事案件的司法程序
双语法律百科美国刑事案件的司法程序The judicial process in a criminal case differs from a civil case in several important ways. At the beginning of a federal criminal case, the principal actors are the U.S. attorney (the prosecutor) and the grand jury. The U.S. attorney represents the United States in most court proceedings, including all criminal prosecutions. The grand jury reviews evidence presented by the U.S. attorney and decides whether there is sufficient evidence to require a defendant to stand trial.在美国，刑事案件的司法程序与民事案件在多个重要⽅⾯有所不同。
在联邦刑事案件开始之初，主要参与者是美国律师（检察官）和陪审团。
在⼤多数法院程序，包括所有刑事诉讼中，美国律师均代表美国政府。
⼤陪审团审查美国律师提供的证据，并确定是否有⾜够的证据要求被告进⾏审判。
After a person is arrested, a pretrial services or probation officer of the court immediately interviews the defendant and conducts an investigation of the defendant's background. The information obtained by the pretrial services or probation office will be used to help a judge decide whether to release the defendant into the community before trial, and whether to impose conditions of release. At an initial appearance, a judge advises the defendant of the charges filed, considers whether the defendant should be held in jail until trial, and determines whether there is probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed and the defendant has committed it. Defendants who are unable to afford counsel are advised of their right to a court-appointed attorney. The court may appoint either a federal public defender or a private attorney who has agreed to accept such appointments from the court. In either type of appointment, the attorney will be paid by the court from funds appropriated by Congress. Defendants released into the community before trial may be required to obey certain restrictions, such as home confinement or drug testing, and to make periodic reports to a pretrial services officer to ensure appearance at trial.某⼈被捕后，法院的审前服务或缓刑监督官⽴即会见被告，并对被告的背景进⾏调查。

法律英语学习|美国刑事诉讼程序（1）写在前面：本文详述美国刑事诉讼的全过程，篇幅较长，故分三期为大家呈现。
文末有“彩蛋”~一般说来，美国的刑事诉讼程序可以分为三个阶段：审前程序、审理程序和审后程序。
审前程序(procedure prior to trial)基本包括以下几个步骤：提出控告(complaint)、逮捕(arrest)、在警察局“登记”(booking)、逮捕后在治安法官面前聆讯(appearance before magistrate after arrest)、预审(preliminary examination)或预先听证(preliminary hearing)、审查性审判(examining trial)、正式起诉(filing of accusation or pleadings)、提审(arraignment)、被告人答辩(plea by defendant)。
审理程序(procedure during trial)包括：选定陪审团(“voir dire”，selection of jurors)、开场陈述(opening statements)、起诉方举证(presentation of government’s case)、辩护方举证(presentation of defendant’ s case)、终结辩论(closing arguments)、指示陪审团(instructing the jury)、陪审团评议(jury deliberations)、陪审裁决(conviction or acquittal)。
审后程序(procedure after trial)包括：判刑(sentencing)、上诉(appeal)等。
下面，帮助大家进一步了解一般情况下美国刑事案件的诉讼程序。
（1）逮捕程序当警方逮捕某人(既“被告”)，并将此人关进监狱之后，以下三种情况的其中一种情况将会发生：•如果检察官（通常是地方检察官或市检察官）决定不提出指控，被告将被释放；或•被告被保释(bail)，或承诺会在日后出庭提出保释，而受到获释。

36谈美国刑事诉讼法，不可避免地就要谈到陪审团制度。
陪审团制度是英美法系的重要组成部分，也是诉讼体系中非常有特色的一部分，这种制度对美国的民主生活1和司法体系有着深远的影响。
笔者本期将专门对这一制度以及与其有关的法律英语内容作一个介绍。
陪审团一般分为两类：小陪审团（pet it j ur y ）和大陪审团（gr and j ur y ）。
(一)小陪审团（peti t j ur y ）美国小陪审团一般由12人组成，人少的话则规定由6人组成即可。
小陪审团在民事和刑事案件中都有采用。
下面是一段对小陪审团的介绍：Incri m inal cases it s taskis t odeter m ine punishable gui lt,andi t usual lydoes sow ithli ttle cr itici sm .Its positi onas a bul w arkof liberty,a pr otector against executi ve oppression,and as a m ode of l esseningthe r igor s of overlystrictlegislationissecure.T he civi l j ury's taskis generallytodet erm ine li abilit ytopaym oneydam ages.It i snotew or thy,how ever,that theci vil juryis not now andnever hasbeenusedinequit ycases,althougha few states pr ovide for equi tyjurytrial s inverylim i tedci rcum stances.刑事案件中小陪审团的主要任务是判定当事人是否犯有应受惩罚的罪行，其所起的作用通常很少受到非议。
它在作为自由的堡垒，反抗暴政的保护人以及减轻严刑峻法的模式方面的地位是相当稳固的。
民事案件中小陪审团的主要任务通常是判定赔付金钱损害赔偿之责任。
但值得注意的是，无论是过去还是现在，在衡平法案件中民事陪审团是很少使用的。
equi ty cases 衡平法案件民事陪审团（小陪审团）自其诞生以来一直都存在着很多的争议。
读者需要注意的是在民事审判团的诞生地英国，这种制度已经被废除50多年了。
现在世界上只有美国还存在着大陪审团和小陪审团两种形式并存的局面。
在这里，还有一点我们必须要理解的是：在美国刑事和民事诉讼中，无论多么微小的案件，被告人都有选择陪审团进行审判的权利。
这项权利是美国宪法第六修正案所规定的。
T he S i xthA m endm ent tothe U .S.C onst itut ionaff ords cr im inal defendants sevendiscr ete per sonal l ibert ies:(1)theri ght toaspeedytrial ,(2)t her ight toa public trial,(3)the right toanim part ial jury,(4)the right t obe i nform edof pendingchar ges,(5)the r ight to confront andcross-exam ine adverse w itnesses,(6)the ri ght t o com pel favorablew itnessestotest ifyat tri al t hroughthe subpoenapow er of t hejudiciar y,and(7)the right tolegal counsel.第六条修正案〔1791年〕规定：“在一切刑事诉讼中，被告享有下列权利：由犯罪行为发生地的州和地区的公正陪审团予以迅速而公开的审判，该地区应事先已由法律确定；得知被控告的性质和理由；同原告证人对质；以强制程序取得对其有利的证人；取得律师帮助为其辩护。
”由陪审团审判，是宪法规定的被告人的一项不可剥夺的基本权利，当然，这种权利也是可以放弃的。
（二）大陪审团（gr and j ur y ）第二种陪审团的类型是大陪审团。
大陪审团并不判定有罪或无罪，它的功能是起诉。
当一名疑犯被带到司法官（m agi st r at e ）面前且司法官认为有足够的证据时，该案便会提交给大陪审团作调查。
只有公诉人才向大陪审团提交证据。
美国刑事诉讼法（中）（李湛意上海外国语大学法学院）法律英语讲座之十一法律英语3法律英语T he gr and jury's task i s to determ i ne w het her the evidence present ed,i f uncont ested,w ould w ar rant convi ction.If it fi nds that it does it w ill issuea tr ue bill of indi ctm ent andt he case w ill pr oceedtotri al.If the evidence is insuffi cient t he case w il l bedism i ssed.大陪审团的任务是：确定所提交的证据（如果没有争议）能否足够充分而确保定罪。
如果大陪审团认为证据能够确保定罪，它便会发出准予起诉书，案件将进入审判程序。
如果证据不足，案件便不会被受理。
dism i ss 驳回、不予受理。
注意：tr ue bi l l 是指“准予起诉”；bi l l of i ndi ctm ent 准予起诉书还有一种f ederal grand j ur y 联邦大陪审团下面这段文字是对联邦大陪审团的介绍：Inthe U nit edS t ates,federal grand juri es have bet w een16and23jur ors.The gr andjuryreceives com plai nts andaccusat ions incrim inal cases,hear s evidence adducedbyt he stat e 2,andapproves anindictm ent w hensatisfied that ther e is enoughevidence agai nst t he accusedtow arrant a tri al.3在美国，i ndi ctm ent 指由大陪审团提出的刑事起诉书，它不同于由检察官提出的起诉书（i nf orm ati on ）。
在美国，有些州规定所有重罪都必须以公诉书起诉，而有的州则一般允许以检察官的起诉书对重罪案件提起起诉。
美国宪法第五条修正案规定，对可能判处死刑的犯罪和其他“不名誉犯罪”（i nf am ous cr i m e ）等案件的指控必须依据公诉书提起。
通常，在须以公诉书起诉时，先由检察官向大陪审团提出“申请公诉书”（bi l l of i ndi ct m ent ）。
有时，大陪审团也会受法官的命令来调查老百姓或者政府官员中可能存在的特定类型的犯罪活动，这些调查也可能导致诉讼。
（三）陪审员4的选择美国的陪审员选择已经形成了比较科学的跨区（C r oss sect ion ）选择制度，即把一个地区分成若干陪审员选区，从每一个选区中选择相同人数组成陪审池（j ur y pool ），以保障其对地区人员的广泛代表性。
而且还通过1975年的一个案件（Tayl ar v.L oi si ana,419U .S.522(1975)）确定，如果在陪审团中把一个较大的明显为一个特殊人群中的某一类人如女性、黑人从陪审池中整体排除，那么这样的陪审团被认为违宪而导致整个审判无效。
而具体的选择过程是这样的：T he venire,a panel of prospective juror s livinginthe di stri ct w her e the tri al is tobe held,is sum m onedfor exam inat ion.C ounsel s for the parti es m ayf irst challenge the array,t hat is,object that the veni re as a w hole w as im pr operl y chosen or is f or som e reason unfi t.The chall enges t o the poll (the m em ber s of t he venire taken indi vidually)ar edesignedtosecure as jurors unbiasedper sons w it hout special know ledge of the m atters inissue.Includedare challengesfor principal cause,i.e,som egroundssuchasr elationshiptoapar tythat requir esdism issal of a m em ber of t he venir e;challenges to the f avor,and a li m it ed num ber of per em ptor ychallenges.法院将召集全体候选陪审员，即居住在案件审理法院所在地的所有有资格充任陪审员者参加选取。
双方律师都可将就整个候选陪审员名单的选取方式提出质疑。
这样做的目的是为了防止完全不合理的选取或者是出于某些原因的选取不当。
接下来对候选陪审员个人的质疑旨在确保所有陪审员并无偏见，而且对争议问题并无独到知识。
主要可以质疑的内容包括：绝对有因回避请求，例如出于某种原因陪审员与被告之间存在着需回避的联系；以偏见为由的回避请求，以及其他的无因回避请求。
veni r e （拉）（陪审团组团名单上的）全体候选陪审员pr i nci pal cause 绝对有因回避请求（与“以偏见为由的回避请求”chal l enge t o t he f avor 相对应）1陪审制度作为民主的产物，首先是为了反抗政府的暴政，在美国的宪法判例中明确规定“陪审团有权防止被告免受政府的压迫”，因而强调任何人都有可能成为陪审员，除非他因为年龄、精神状态不能对事物有辨别和认识能力，或者有犯罪记录等特殊情况，否则社区的所有人都应当有其代表。
