Очная ставка и обеспечение права обвиняемого на оспаривание показаний свидетельствующих против него лиц
The confrontation is considered, in fact, as the only investigative action that currently allows the accused to challenge the incriminating testimony and submit his objections against it during the preliminary investigation. An algorithm has been proposed for the implementation in pre-trial proceedings of the right of the accused to challenge the testimony of persons giving evidence against him. Under analysis is the proposal made in the procedural literature to include in the system of investigative actions a new type of interrogation — interrogation of a witness (victim) with the participation of the accused as a possible alternative to a confrontation. The paper contains a historical record of the right of the accused to participate in the interrogation of persons testifying against him secured in the Russian criminal procedure in the pre-revolutionary period and during the period of the first Soviet Criminal Procedural Code.
