Defects and Improvement in Legislation of the System of Appearing in Court as a Witness in Criminal Action

The system of appearing in court as a witness, as is a stipulation of the new mode of trial, is not only in accordance with the development of the system of criminal action in the current world, but also an important guarantee to realize the basic tasks and value targets of criminal action. In view of the concerned stipulations of the present legislation in criminal action and judicial interpretations in various countries, the system of appearing in court as a witness is already in existence, but its principle and general stipulations can hardly satisfy the practical needs in judicial practice. Improving the system of appearing in court as a witness in criminal action in our country will therefore have important and practical significance both in the mode of trial reformation and judicial practice.
