THE CONSEQUENCES OF A CONVICTION DESERVING OF LENIENCY IN THE CRIMINAL LEGISLATION OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
This article is devoted to the specifics of sentencing when the jury verdicts condescension under the legislation of the Russian Empire from 1864 to 1917, as well as the limits of the jury’s influence on possible punishment. The author comes to the conclusion that the development of the institution of jurors in Russia in terms of sentencing has no historical continuity. The modern Russian court considering cases with the participation of jurors has fewer rights in its competence and rules of sentencing compared to the corresponding powers in sentencing in pre-October Russia, which indicates the need to expand the competence of jurors in the current domestic legal model. Keywords: punishment, jurors, verdict, lad
