章節(jié)摘錄

　　加拿大的保釋方式有以下幾種特點(diǎn)：（1）保釋方式呈現(xiàn)出多種類、多層次、由輕到重的結(jié)構(gòu)。從最輕的無條件的承諾方式到最重的有保證人附條件并實(shí)際交付保證金的方式。加拿大保釋的方式跨度大、種類多、層次性強(qiáng)，因而具有較強(qiáng)的根據(jù)案情加以調(diào)整的能力，能適應(yīng)司法實(shí)踐對于保釋方式的不同要求。（2）保證人與保證金可以同時適用。在保證書和實(shí)際交付保證金的方式下，都可以同時確定保證人對被保釋人的行為進(jìn)行監(jiān)管。（3）可以同時確定多名保證人對被保釋人進(jìn)行監(jiān)管并共同承擔(dān)連帶責(zé)任。（4）保證金既可以實(shí)際交付，也可以不實(shí)際交付；實(shí)際交付中既可以現(xiàn)金交付，也可以用實(shí)物替代現(xiàn)金。保證金以契約擬制方式來交納，一方面給予當(dāng)時無法交納現(xiàn)金的被告人保釋的機(jī)會；另一方面也免去了實(shí)際交納保證金的手續(xù)，節(jié)約了司法資源。而保證金以實(shí)物的方式來交納，也能夠給予當(dāng)時只能提供實(shí)物而無法交納現(xiàn)金的被告人保釋的機(jī)會。（5）決定保釋時，可以根據(jù)案件的具體情況附加一定的條件，這種極具針對性的附加條件也有助于加強(qiáng)保證效果?！　∈聦?shí)上，保釋或取保候?qū)徥潜蛔吩V者的一項(xiàng)基本權(quán)利，故而應(yīng)當(dāng)盡可能地對被追訴者適用保釋或取保候?qū)彛瑫r考慮到保釋或者取保候?qū)彽娘L(fēng)險，在保釋或取保候?qū)彽姆绞胶瓦m用上就應(yīng)當(dāng)遵循以下兩個原則：（1）只要適當(dāng)，法律就應(yīng)當(dāng)盡量拓展可以適用的方式；（2）只要方式的適用不會對被追訴者造成過重的負(fù)擔(dān)，為了確保保證的效果，避免風(fēng)險，方式的適用就不應(yīng)有數(shù)量和種類上的限制。只有同時符合這兩項(xiàng)原則，才能實(shí)現(xiàn)既盡量適用保釋或取保候?qū)?，同時又盡量降低風(fēng)險的目的?！　〖幽么蟮娜”：?qū)彿绞接袔c(diǎn)值得借鑒：（1）在保證人保證的方式上，應(yīng)允許同時確定多名保證人，以加強(qiáng)監(jiān)管和責(zé)任承擔(dān)；（2）保證金保證的方式應(yīng)從唯一的現(xiàn)金交納擴(kuò)展至既允許以契約擬制的方式交納，也允許以其他有價實(shí)物交納，同時還應(yīng)允許以房屋等不動產(chǎn)抵押的方式；（3）明確規(guī)定保證人保證和保證金保證可以同時適用；（4）應(yīng)當(dāng)增設(shè)承諾的取保方式，允許犯罪嫌疑人以書面承諾的方式取保，以滿足辦理犯罪情節(jié)輕微、取保風(fēng)險極小的案件在取保候?qū)徤系男枰?，避免司法資源的浪費(fèi)。　　IV.

Under further questioning@， she admittedshe once stole Kellys $ 20，000 diamond-studded watch from a hotel.　　"Van Allen is an admitted thief and liar who wouldnt know the truth if she trippedover it. " Kellys business manager， Derrel McDavid， said in a statement.　　Kelly， 41， faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of child pornography for alleged-ly videotaping himself having sex with a female prosecutors say was as young as 13.
