Abstract

The verdict of acquittal in the application of law enforcement still has problems, namely the existence of a conflict of norms or a regulatory gap, whereby Article 193 of the Criminal Procedure Code "orders" judges to impose a sentence if the defendant is proven guilty. However, Article 67 of the Criminal Code, which refers to the types of basic penalties in Article 10 of the Criminal Code, "prohibits" the imposition of penalties if the defendant has already been sentenced to death or life imprisonment. This conflict of norms or regulatory gap creates a dilemma for judges in enforcing the law. This research is a normative type of research , using a statute approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary law, and a prescriptive analysis method. This study discusses two main issues, namely the Regulation of Nil Verdicts in Indonesian Criminal Procedure Law and the Ideal Regulation Related to the Concept of Nil Verdicts in Indonesian Criminal Procedure Law in the Future.

Abstract

The Indonesian criminal justice system is undergoing a paradigm shift from a retributive to a restorative approach, solidified by the enactment of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Criminal Cases Based on Restorative Justice. This regulation aims to provide a standardized framework for judges. However, its practical implementation reveals a tension between formal legal certainty and the pursuit of substantive justice. This research conducts a normative legal analysis to evaluate the adequacy of the conditions and mechanisms within the Supreme Court Regulation as a guide for judges. The study employs statute, conceptual, and case approaches, analyzing primary and secondary legal materials. The findings indicate that the rigid requirements stipulated in the regulation, such as the limit on criminal threats, along with ambiguities in exclusionary clauses like recidivism, are insufficient and often hinder the achievement of substantive recovery. Furthermore, the absence of explicit procedural mechanisms for penal mediation forces judges to rely on discretionary activism. This journal argues for a reformulated regulation that is more flexible and principle-based, proposing the inclusion of a discretionary gateway for judges, harmonizing recidivism rules with the new National Criminal Code, and institutionalizing penal mediation procedures to ensure the restorative process is substantive and consistent.

Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology have significantly influenced legal developments, particularly in the area of ​​evidence in criminal justice processes. The use of electronic evidence as evidence in various criminal cases poses challenges related to the clarity and adequacy of the legal framework in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the extent to which Indonesian law accommodates the existence of electronic evidence and how judges determine its legal status and treatment after a criminal verdict has become final and binding. The study focuses on the question of whether it is sufficient to seize electronic data together with the electronic device or whether a normative separation between the physical device and the electronic data within it is necessary, as is the practice in the Netherlands and France. In this context, it is important to analyze whether existing legal provisions provide legal certainty and strike a balance between the interests of law enforcement and the protection of individuals' rights to personal data, information, and/or electronic documents contained in seized electronic devices. Through a normative juridical and comparative legal approach, this study finds that legal regulations in Indonesia do not specifically regulate the treatment of electronic data in court decisions. Therefore, regulatory reform is needed to ensure the protection of each individual's constitutional rights and strengthen the integrity of the evidentiary system in electronic-based criminal cases.

Abstract

Crime is a phenomenon that has infiltrated into communal life. One type of crime resulting from this development is criminal activities carried out in collusion or groups, meticulously planned, and referred to as organized crime. This type of crime can be categorized as an extraordinary or extraordinary crime because it is considered more extreme than ordinary crimes. In organized crime, perpetrators form a group that employs various detailed and synchronized methods to obtain money, power, or other objectives. Examples of organized crime include corrupt groups, robbery conspiracies, and even groups of murderers. This should prompt law enforcement agencies to undertake new efforts to address and combat this type of crime, and one of the means employed can be through the Criminal Justice System network.

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of the lex specialis systematis principle in special criminal law as a solution to address overlapping regulations in its enforcement. This issue arises when law enforcers must choose the applicable legal provision in cases where a single criminal act is prohibited by multiple special criminal laws. In cases of pornographic content dissemination, challenges emerge due to overlapping regulations, including the Pornography Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, and the Sexual Violence Crime Law (TPKS). Each of these laws prohibits the dissemination of pornographic content (revenge porn) but assigns different legal subjects for criminal liability. This paper examines how law enforcers apply the lex specialis systematis principle as a guideline to determine the most appropriate legal provision, while also considering its implications for justice and legal certainty. This study underscores the importance of lex specialis systematis in ensuring clarity and effectiveness in handling complex criminal cases, particularly in pornographic content dissemination. Using a normative juridical method, this research analyzes existing legal norms through literature studies. It establishes parameters for law enforcers on how to apply the lex specialis systematis principle when multiple laws of equal standing regulate the same offense.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Amicus Curiae in the Indonesian legal system, particularly its impact on judicial decision-making despite the absence of explicit procedural regulations in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). Through qualitative analysis of landmark cases, including the Prita Mulyasari case, this research highlights how third-party legal opinions contribute to more just and transparent verdicts. The study identifies key challenges, such as inconsistent acceptance and limited awareness among legal practitioners, while also exploring potential frameworks for institutionalizing Amicus Curiae in both criminal and civil cases. By analyzing comparative legal perspectives and best practices from other jurisdictions, this research advocates for clearer guidelines to enhance its legitimacy and effectiveness in Indonesia. The findings underscore the necessity of formal recognition to strengthen judicial credibility, ensure fairness, and uphold fundamental human rights. Ultimately, institutionalizing Amicus Curiae would foster a more inclusive and participatory legal system, aligning Indonesia’s judiciary with global standards of legal justice and due process.

Abstract

The influence of public attention on the criminal trial process is currently affecting the judiciary under the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, where all layers of society consistently follow the development of news related to ongoing trials in specific legal jurisdictions. This article focuses on discussing the nature of public attention, emphasizing that it should not affect the judges' rulings in criminal cases, as well as the discretion of judges in formulating legal considerations in cases that attract public attention during the decision-making process. Our findings indicate that in making legal considerations for criminal case rulings, the panel of judges must always adhere to the formal procedural law established in the criminal trial process, reinforced by the application of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code, relevant criminal laws in the trial, and the Supreme Court regulations. The primary guidance for judges in formulating legal considerations for legal decisions must be based on at least two pieces of evidence proven during the trial, coupled with the conviction of the presiding judge, and supplemented by the judge's authority to exercise discretion in order to ensure clear and just resolution of the criminal case. In conclusion, we recommend that judges must continue to uphold their independence in making legal considerations and delivering sound legal judgments.

Abstract

The implementation of penal mediation within the Indonesian legal system presents a promising alternative to traditional criminal proceedings, especially in cases involving traffic accidents caused by negligence. Penal mediation offers a non-litigation mechanism that prioritizes rehabilitation, the restoration of relationships between victims and offenders, and the promotion of peace. While traffic accidents cause significant harm to victims, involving them in the mediation process helps clarify the offender's responsibilities and provides an opportunity for restorative justice. Moreover, penal mediation can help prevent the negative consequences of imprisonment, which not only affects the offender but also their family and society at large. However, the absence of specific legislation governing penal mediation within the Criminal Justice System poses challenges, making it difficult for law enforcement officials to provide legal certainty in cases involving traffic violations under the Traffic Law. Therefore, it is essential for future reforms to address these gaps, ensuring that penal mediation can be effectively implemented in traffic accident cases to achieve more humane and restorative outcomes.
