Dovoljno dokaza o krivici kao uslov za prihvatanje sporazuma o priznanju krivice
Rezime: Ne postoji ni jedno krivičnoprocesno zakonodavstvo koje poznaje sporazum o priznanju krivice u kome on ne podliježe kontroli suda. Da bi ga sud prihvatio on mora da ispuni određene uslove. Ti uslovi su uvijek manje ili više potpuno izričito predviđeni. Zakoni o krivičnom postupku koji se primjenjuju u Bosni i Hercegovini taksativno nabrajaju uslove koje sporazum o priznanju krivice mora da ispuni da bi ga sud prihvatio. Pitanje uslova koje sporazum mora da ispuni da bi bio prihvaćen je jedno od njegovih najznačajnih pitanja. Među njima posebno mjesto zauzima onaj, koji je opšteprihvaćen, po kome se traži da dokazi dostavljeni uz sporazum moraju ispuniti određene standarde koji se tiču njihovog kvaliteta i kvantiteta. Ne postoji ni jedno krivičnoprocesno zakonodavstvo u kome je dovoljno samo priznanje optuženog u sporazumu o priznanju krivice bez drugih dokaza. U krivičnoprocesnim zakonodavstvima u Bosni i Hercegovini je ovaj uslov određen kao postojanje dovoljno dokaza o krivici optuženog. U radu se pokušava odgovoriti na pitanje kada je on ispunjen.
Ključne riječi: sporazum o priznanju krivice, uslovi za prihvatanje sporazuma, dovoljno dokaza o krivici, dovoljno dokaza koji pružaju osnov za tvrdnju da je osumnjičeni učinio krivično djelo.
