上 訴 庭 譴 責 法 官 阮 雲 道



  (星島日報報道)繼終審院本月初批評高院法官阮雲道要陪審員退庭商議至深夜後,昨日上訴庭再次譴責阮官要陪審員商議十三小時至凌晨的作風,並指阮官向已商議了逾十一小時的陪審員表示他曾試過等陪審團裁決至凌晨一時、又直言讓未能即日作出裁決的陪審員留宿的房間「舒服非常」,均非恰當說話。

  曾任律政署刑事檢控專員的阮雲道,自九八年出任高院法官,有關將陪審團比喻董事局成員,已是阮官自○三年起第三次因同一「妙喻」令定罪被推翻。

  上訴庭法官司徒敬昨日指,阮官於引導陪審團時,以「董事局」來形容陪審團,令陪審員可能誤以為退庭商議是從詳計議地協商﹔雖然阮官曾叮囑陪審員「有權」依從自己的看法,但司徒敬法

官強調陪審員不單「有權」依從己見,他們「本來就應該」依從己見。上訴庭以此推翻被告定罪,案件須發還重審。

  司徒敬法官又批評,阮官於早上引導陪審團個多小時後,由上午十一時半讓陪審團退庭商議,但直至晚上十時半仍未有裁決,阮官召他們出來指,如果裁決快要得出,案中各方均樂意再等個多小時,因他自己就曾有等到凌晨一時的經驗。

  阮官又指假如陪審團真的未達裁決,須留宿高院待翌日再繼續的話也可,因為高院的住宿設備絕對是舒服非常。

  司徙敬法官指出,陪審團理應商議至晚上八時為止,未有裁決便留待翌日繼續,上訴庭看不到本案有何特別之處,要讓陪審員商議至深夜。他指阮官不恰當地對陪審員提及曾等至凌晨一時等說話,卻不查問陪審員疲累與否。

  本案上訴人麥詠翔於○三年九月廿三日,被陪審團以六比一大比數裁定他安排販運近五公斤冰毒往關島罪成,被判監廿七年,昨獲撤銷控罪,暫還押監房等候案件排期。

  案件編號﹕刑事上訴四三七——二○○三。
