Abstract

Abstract The admission of guilt has always had an attenuation effect on the punishment, meant to encourage the persons which have committed a crime to admit their deeds and to cooperate with the authorities in order to find out the truth of the case. In the last years, the legislator has used the admission of guilt to obtain a diminution of the duration of the trials and a relief of the courts of law. The Law no 202/2010 known as Small Reform Law has brought a simplified procedure for judgment the cases regarding the defendants which admit their deeds. The new settlement was a success, the procedure being used quite often. The new Criminal Procedure Code comes with a new regulation also known in other legislations as Plea bargaining. The simplified procedure for judgment is also stipulated. That is why we have to ask if admission guilt agreement has a change to succeed in our legislation and to be used in the legal practice or is meant to fall into disuse ab initio. The main aim of this paper is to examine how the conception of the legislator has evolved over the time and which legal stipulations are the most suitable for our legislation.
