Abstract:
Purpose: The Purpose of this article is the author's desire to show the imperfection of the legislative regulation of the procedure of judicial investigation in the appellate proceedings in a criminal case, to identify problems of its practical implementation, and to determine the optimal model of court investigation in appeal. Area of study/methodology: The article analyzes the norms of current criminal procedural legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the procedure of the judicial investigation in the court of appeal, the practice of implementing the standards. When writing the article used the dialectical, logical, systematic, formal-legal methods. Conclusions: The Author concludes that in the current criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation the exercise of the judicial investigation in the appellate court is equally available to the court of appeal as an opportunity to re-direct research evidence, and the right legally to limit the verification made by the court of first instance decisions only on the available written materials of the criminal case. The study of current judicial practices allowed to come to the conclusion that the courts of appeal in the majority of cases that require direct research evidence, do not deem it necessary, denying the petition of the parties about the study of previously investigated and new evidence, in connection with a judicial investigation in the appellate court for criminal cases actually is often missing. The article draws attention to the fact that the legislator provided the possibility of "simplification" of appellate litigation through actual delisting of the judicial investigation allows the appellate court to take review of the decision of the court of first instance to the formal procedure, and accordingly impaired the rights and legitimate interests of the individual. In this regard, the author proposes to exclude from the criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation a number of provisions that hinder and exclude the exercise of full judicial investigation in the court of appeal limiting the parties the opportunity to present new evidence. Novelty/originality/value: Article has a certain scientific value and practical significance, because it contains insights and suggestions that can be useful in reforming the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation and in the current appellate practice.
