Galina Nikolaevna Cheblakova, Senior Prosecutor of the Department of Public Prosecutors of the Criminal Judicial Administration, explains

A court verdict may be acquittal or guilty.

A guilty verdict is issued when the trial proves that the defendant is guilty of a crime.

The law requires a guilty verdict only if, in the course of the trial, the guilt of the defendant is confirmed by a combination of examined evidence. A guilty verdict cannot be based on assumptions.

When deciding the verdict, all the evidence considered in the court session must be evaluated. The defendant's confession of his guilt can be the basis of a guilty verdict only if it is confirmed by a combination of other evidence. All doubts regarding the proof of the accusation, if they could not be eliminated, are interpreted in favor of the defendant.

An acquittal is issued in cases where:

1) the event of a crime has not been established;

2) the defendant is not involved in the commission of the crime - when the available evidence is doubtful or insufficient to make a decision on the case, and the possibilities for further search for additional evidence have been completely exhausted, the court passes a verdict of acquittal due to the defendant's non-involvement in the commission of the crime;

3) there is no corpus delicti in the act of the defendant - the absence of corpus delicti is recognized as the basis for an acquittal when the event took place, the fact that the defendant committed certain acts is established, but they are not criminal in accordance with applicable law;

4) the defendant has been acquitted by the jury.

Regardless of the grounds for acquittal, the defendant is in all cases considered innocent of the crime, which entails his rehabilitation in the manner prescribed by law.

Among guilty verdicts, depending on the grounds for their decision, the law distinguishes three types of verdicts:

1) with the imposition of a sentence to be served by the convict;

2) with the imposition of a sentence and release from serving it;

3) without sentencing.

The court renders a guilty verdict with release from the imposed punishment, if by the time the verdict is passed:

1) an act of amnesty has been issued, relieving the convict from the application of the punishment imposed by this verdict;

2) the time spent by the defendant in custody in this criminal case, taking into account the rules for offsetting punishment established by the Criminal Code, completely absorbs the punishment imposed on the defendant by the court.

A guilty verdict without sentencing is issued in the following cases:

1) if an act of amnesty has been issued that releases the defendant from criminal liability;

2) if the court applies compulsory measures of educational influence instead of criminal punishment to the convicted minor;

3) if the convicted minor is placed by the court in a special educational institution of a closed type instead of applying a criminal penalty in the form of deprivation of liberty.

When passing a guilty verdict with the imposition of a sentence to be served, the court is obliged to indicate in the verdict the type of punishment, its amount and the beginning of the calculation of the term for serving the sentence.

Punishment must be just. It is appointed within the limits of the sanction of the criminal law, which provides for the crime of which the defendant is found guilty. When imposing punishment, the court must take into account the nature and degree of social danger of the crime, the identity of the perpetrator, including the circumstances mitigating and aggravating the punishment, as well as the impact of the punishment imposed on the correction of the convicted person and on the living conditions of his family.

In the event that the grounds for termination of a criminal case or criminal prosecution, provided for in paragraph 3 of part 1 of Art. 24 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation or art. 25, 25-1, 28, 28-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation will be clarified during the trial, the court, with the consent of the defendant, must terminate the criminal case and (or) criminal prosecution at any time during the proceedings. In the absence of the consent of the defendant, the court continues the consideration of the criminal case in accordance with the procedure established by the criminal procedure law. The court, having established that the actions of the defendant contain elements of a crime, passes a sentence by which it releases him from punishment in connection with the establishment of one of the above grounds.

If it is established that there is no event of a crime or there is no corpus delicti in the act of the defendant, the court decides on an acquittal. The court makes the same decision if it is established that the defendant is not involved in the commission of the crime.

If the defendant is charged under several articles of the criminal law and the court comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to terminate the criminal case on some of them, the reasoned decision to this effect is not set out in the verdict, but in the ruling (decree) issued simultaneously with the verdict. In the descriptive-motivational part of the verdict in this case, it is only indicated that the criminal case in this part has been terminated.

The Supreme Court overturned the guilty verdict based on the jury's verdict

Experts of the "AG" agreed that the violations listed by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are significant, and their totality served as an unconditional basis for the cancellation of all judicial acts. One of them added that the case revealed a problem known among law enforcers: how to ensure the proper organization of the decision of the verdict by the jury with strict observance by the presiding judge and the parties of the prosecution and defense of the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.

The Supreme Court published the ruling of the court of cassation in case No. 8-UD22-8SP-A1, by which it overturned the guilty verdict handed down on the basis of the jury's verdict due to the many violations of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation committed during the consideration of the criminal case.

In August 2021, the Yaroslavl Regional Court, on the basis of a jury verdict, convicted Eduard Burnyshev, who had previously been repeatedly convicted, finding him guilty of intentionally inflicting light bodily harm on L. and K., causing a short-term health disorder, using an object used as a weapon, the murder of L., committed in a generally dangerous way, as well as in the deliberate destruction and damage to someone else's property, which caused significant damage, committed by arson (paragraph “e”, part 2 of article 105, part 2 of article 167, two episodes according to paragraph "c" part 2 of article 115 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).The court sentenced him to 15 years in prison in a strict regime colony. The appeal upheld the verdict.

In a cassation complaint to the Supreme Court, the convict challenged the qualification of his actions, believing that the circumstances established by the verdict testify only to the arson of things in the apartment by him and are not sufficient to conclude that L. was intent to kill. Kassator added that the victim L. was conscious and saw his actions by arson, she could move, and the exits from the apartment located on the ground floor were not blocked, so her death was not due to fire, but due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Having studied the case materials, the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Supreme Court noted that, in violation of a number of provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and contrary to the presumption of innocence, during the trial and the debate of the parties, the state prosecutor repeatedly spoke about the circumstances of the rape allegedly committed by Eduard Burnyshev, with reference to the testimony of witnesses on this issue , while the latter was not accused of such a crime, therefore, the examined evidence in this part was not relevant to the subject of the trial. In turn, the presiding judge did not react in any way to such a statement by the public prosecutor, without ensuring compliance with the requirements for the study of only relevant evidence, in his parting word, he also did not explain to the jury the need to ignore the information they heard.

In addition, the Supreme Court noted that, with regard to the issue of researching data on the identity of the defendant, the law allows their research with the participation of a jury only to the extent that they are needed to establish certain elements of the crime of which he is accused. At the same time, it is forbidden to investigate the facts of a previous conviction, the recognition of the defendant as a chronic alcoholic or drug addict, as well as other data that could cause jurors' prejudice against the defendant. This prohibition also extends to other facts outside the scope of the prosecution, which may form the jury's prejudice against the defendant.

“In the present case, in order to establish the motive for the crime, it was not necessary to examine the evidence related to the alleged rape, since, according to the charge, the reason for hostility as a motive for the crime was a quarrel in the victim’s apartment on March 1, 2020, in connection with which the events preceding this conflict were not related to the circumstances provided for in Art. 73 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, and, therefore, their study was contrary to Art. 252, 334, 335 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Bringing to the jurors the specified information characterizing the defendant as a “rapist” was contrary to the law and was capable of forming a prejudice against his personality among the jurors,” the Supreme Court noted.

He added that during the trial and in his speech before the jury in the debate, the state prosecutor, contrary to the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, used legal and special medical terms in his speech (“direct and indirect intent”, “grounds for qualification under Article 112 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation”, "Beloglazov's syndrome"), and also clarified procedural issues (about the optional participation of attesting witnesses in investigative actions in the event of video filming). In these cases, the presiding judge also did not stop the public prosecutor and did not give the jurors the necessary explanations.

According to the results of the judicial investigation and the debate of the parties, the Court noted, the presiding judge formed a questionnaire, which included questions about the circumstances of a legal nature (about causing light, medium, serious bodily harm; about causing damage to the heiress of the deceased), while the jurors, according to Art. 334 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, should not resolve issues of a legal nature (on the severity of harm to health and on the right of the heir to compensation for damage arising from a tort obligation). “Meanwhile, the question sheet did not include the question of whether the convict had the intention to take the life of the victim by setting fire to things in her apartment, which deprived the accused of the right to prove in a jury trial his innocence in the murder charged to him. At the same time, the intention (purpose) of deprivation of life refers to the actual circumstances of the case, and in accordance with Art. 334 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, its establishment is within the competence of the jurors, and not the presiding judge, ”the Supreme Court emphasized.

In the framework of this case, as the Court explained, the formulation of such a question was necessary, since Burnyshev was charged with murder with direct intent, and the convict disputed such a circumstance. The absence of this question in the question sheet indicates that the content of the verdict does not meet the requirements provided for by Art. 252 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Thus, the Supreme Court canceled the lower court decisions and returned the criminal case for a new consideration to the regional court, appointing a preventive measure for Eduard Burnyshev in the form of detention for two months.

Commenting on the decision of the Supreme Court, Aleksey Ivanov, managing partner of Legal Status Law Firm, noted that in the case under consideration, the court of first instance committed critical violations that were incompatible neither with the appointment of criminal proceedings, nor with the observance of the law and the meaning of the administration of justice, which rightly served as the basis for overturning the sentence: “ It is commendable that the court of cassation (unlike the court of appeal) thoroughly understood the case, applied Art. 401.16 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, did not limit himself to the arguments of the cassation appeal, but conducted an audit of the criminal case and drew attention to significant violations of the law.

The expert drew attention to the fact that the cassation revealed a violation of Art. 252 Code of Criminal Procedure. “And the point is not even that the trial should be conducted only within the framework of the charges brought, but also that the presiding judge is obliged to respond in a timely manner to a violation of this rule and draw the attention of the jurors. An attempt to change the charge is a significant violation of the criminal procedure law, which affected the outcome of the case, and the basis for the annulment of the sentence. Proceedings with the participation of jurors have their own specifics, one of which is the prohibition of research in the presence of jurors of data on the identity of the defendant. The violations listed by the Supreme Court are significant, and their totality served as an unconditional basis for the cancellation of all judicial acts that took place, ”concluded Alexei Ivanov.

Alexey Nyankin, Senior Partner at Nyankin & Partners, believes that the definition of the Supreme Court revealed a well-known problem among law enforcers: how to ensure the proper organization of the decision of the verdict by the jury with strict observance by the presiding judge and the parties of the prosecution and defense of the provisions of Art. 252, 334-336, 338 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. “The institution of juries in modern Russia has existed for more than 25 years, but the mistakes of individual judges only indicate that their qualifications clearly do not meet the expectations of the legal community,” he stressed.

According to the expert, each of the revealed violations of the law separately serves as an independent basis for the cancellation of the verdict and the sentence decided on its basis. “The presiding judge allowed the jury to evaluate and resolve legal issues, allowed the public prosecutor to investigate circumstances that are not included in the subject of proof by virtue of Art. 252 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, as well as bringing the data of the defendant to the jury, and in the end, he also made mistakes in posing questions to the jury. In practice, there are many cases when the presiding judge, through the “petty foul tactics”, implicitly assists the prosecution in forming a “framework” of the accusatory position before the jury. However, the conclusions of the court of cassation indicate that the entire process of administration of justice in a particular case was built on a “maybe” (apparently, taking into account the marginality of the defendant),” Aleksey Nyankin suggested.

In this regard, the lawyer expressed a desire to see such a principled position of the cassation in all cases and complaints. “And the arguments of this ruling of the Supreme Court for each of the violations of the procedural law should be consistently evaluated by the appellate and cassation courts in other cases when the defense refers to them,” the expert concluded.
