Arraignment - Arraignment (English spelling)

Japanese: アレインメント - あれいんめんと(英語表記)arraignment
Arraignment - Arraignment (English spelling)

It is translated as a plea of ​​guilty or a plea of ​​indictment procedure. In Anglo-American criminal proceedings, the court summons the defendant to the courtroom, reads the indictment to him, and asks him whether he admits to the facts of the indictment. This procedure is called an affidavit, and if he pleads guilty (no contest), the fact-finding hearing can be omitted and a guilty verdict can be handed down immediately, and only if he pleads not guilty can evidence be examined. Although it helps to speed up trials, there are many issues with the voluntariness and accuracy of the guilty plea, and the fact that there is a deal with the prosecution. Article 319, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure stipulate that a person is not found guilty simply by admitting (confessing) that he is guilty of the crime he is charged with, and prohibits the adoption of this procedure. The summary trial procedure (Article 291-2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) was stipulated with reference to this procedure.

Japanese:

罪状認否または起訴認否手続と訳される。英米法系の刑事訴訟では、裁判所が法廷に被告人を呼び出し、起訴状を読んで聞かせ、起訴事実についてそれを認めるか否かをたずねる。この手続をアレインメントといい、有罪の答弁(不抗争の答弁)があれば事実審理を省略し、ただちに有罪の判決を下すことができ、無罪の答弁があったときに初めて証拠調べが行われる。裁判の迅速化に役だっているが、有罪答弁の任意性、正確性、訴追側との取引があるなどの点で、問題の指摘も多い。日本の刑事訴訟法第319条2項・3項は、起訴された犯罪について有罪であることを自認(自白)しただけでは有罪とされない旨を規定し、この手続の採用を禁止している。なお、簡易公判手続(刑事訴訟法291条の2)は、この手続を参考にして規定されたものである。
