Abstract

In the indonesian justice system, the requisitoir of aquittal is crcial, especially in cases where public prosecutor demands acquittal because evidence does not meet the minimum requirements. This method is closely related to three legal objectives: justice, certaincy and expediency. In this study, normative jurudicial is used. This examines laws and requlations such as the Prosecutor’s office Law, Attorney General’s Gudelines number 3 of 2019 and the Criminal Procedure Code, as well as the concept of dominus litis which is the basis for prosecutors to determine prosecution actions. In addition, this case study analyzes the decisions of the Andoloo District Court No. 104/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Adl and the Denpasar District Court No. 809/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Dps to learn how demands for acquittal are applied in practice. The results of this study show that when used to prevent conciction without sufficient evidence, requisitoir of acquittal can be profesional and objective tool. It also demonstrates the role prosecutors as gatekeepers in running the criminal justice system. Furthermore, demands of acquittal also influence public perceptions of the credibility of the prosecution and the relevance of implementing the principle of legal certanty. For demands for acquittal to truly support substansive justice, legal certanty and benefit society, this study confirms the need strenghening standards, transparency and reforming prosecution polices.
