Abstract

This study is motivated by the systemic dysfunction of the Indonesian criminal justice system, characterized by case backlogs and overcrowding in correctional institutions. This condition prompted the adoption of the plea bargain mechanism in Article 78 of the New Criminal Procedure Code. However, the application of this special track potentially becomes trapped in procedural pragmatism that neglects the search for material truth and the essence of substantive justice. The objective of this study is to formulate the Meaningful Guilty Plea paradigm as a synchronization instrument between the procedural efficiency of Article 78 of the New Criminal Procedure Code and substantive justice values in the sentencing guidelines of Article 54 of the New Penal Code. The research method used is normative legal research, employing statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches through qualitative-prescriptive analysis. The results indicate that plea bargain formalism requires a rigid material foundation so that granting sentence reduction is not speculative-transactional in nature. The construction of the meaningful guilty plea paradigm requires examining the quality of the defendant’s statement, based on indicators of sincere remorse, moral responsibility, and commitment to victim recovery, to ensure sentencing proportionality. This synchronization enables a transition from a retributive pattern to a restorative-corrective model, as mandated by the New Penal Code. The conclusion asserts that procedural efficiency must be governed by active judicial control, achieved through the integration of sentencing guidelines to prevent judicial decision-making disparities. This study recommends the formulation of implementing regulations in the form of sentencing guidelines that integrate the plea-bargaining mechanism nationwide as a crucial implementation step following the recent enforcement of the new criminal law on January 2, 2026. Under this ideal model, the criminal justice system is expected to achieve sustainable harmony between the speed of processes and the quality of decisions that are substantively just for both the defendant and the victim.

Abstract

The fundamental transformation of national criminal law through the promulgation of the New Penal Code promotes a paradigm of substantive justice that triggers a normative dialectic regarding the existence of the formal legality principle of colonial legacy. This study aims to critically analyze the position of judicial pardon as an exceptional veiligheidsklep instrument to accommodate legal facts in specific murder offenses, while simultaneously assessing its effectiveness in maintaining the balance between legal certainty and human rights protection. The research method employed is normative legal research with statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches analyzed qualitatively using deductive logic and the legal dialectic method. The results indicate that the limitative restrictions of judicial pardon in Article 70 section (2) of the New Penal Code clash diametrically with the mandate of Article 53 section (2) of the Law, which obligates judges to prioritize substantive justice over formal legal certainty. These findings affirm that judicial pardon functions as a final filter post-operationalization of the primary filter, in the form of conventional grounds for excluding punishment, such as weer-exces and overmacht. Through the analysis of Decision Number 4/Pid.B/2024/PN Jnp, it is proven that exceptional judicial pardon in murder offenses with a low degree of culpability constitutes a judicial necessity to realize the objectives of restorative justice and the decolonization of national criminal law. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that judicial pardon is an instrument for salvaging human dignity and requires the support of accountable sentencing guidelines. Therefore, the Supreme Court is advised to immediately establish a Regulation regulating qualitative parameters for the application of pardon in grave offenses to avoid sentencing disparities and ensure the moral legitimacy of the law in the future Indonesian criminal justice system.
