2006年轰动全国的肖敬明案虽然已过去多年,但是案件的影响力仍然惊人。当初此案中的证人肖敬明由于没有受到很好的保护,以至于遭到报复举家逃亡。此案可以说是我国证人保护制度的里程碑事件,它极大地打击了国人出庭作证的积极性。正是由于我国人民的法律意识还比较淡薄,对出庭作证仍缺乏了解,因此,怎样提高证人出庭作证率,维护司法公正,树立司法权威,从而完善我国的证人保护制度,是目前我国面临的重要的问题。 Although the case of Xiao Jingming, which made a big splash in the country in 2006, has lasted for many years, the impact of the case is still alarming. Xiao Jingming, the witness in the original case, had been retaliated and escaped from his family because he was not well protected. This case can be regarded as a landmark event in the system of witness protection in our country. It has greatly affected the enthusiasm of the people in court to testify. It is precisely because of our people’s legal awareness is still relatively weak, to testify in court is still a lack of understanding, therefore, how to improve the witness to attend court testimony, to maintain judicial impartiality and establish judicial authority, thus improving China’s witness protection system is currently facing China’s important The problem.
