藍白共同再修正動議提出至表決僅二十七分鐘,立法者未充分說明毒駕致死加重至死刑的罪責基礎與刑度比例
立法院10月30日三讀通過毒駕修法,將十年內再犯致死最高刑度提高至死刑,但藍白共同再修正動議提出至表決僅二十七分鐘,死刑條文的法律理由與刑度比例未獲充分審視,引發憲法與司法檢驗的關切。

行政院六月已有毒駕修法草案,七月經委員會審查,十月二十八日黨團協商仍無共識。立法院10月30日三讀通過,將一般毒駕致死提高為七年以上有期徒刑,十年內再犯致死提高為死刑、無期徒刑或十年以上有期徒刑。2024年憲法法庭針對故意殺人死刑條文要求犯罪情節達最嚴重程度及嚴密程序保障,但此次新增的毒駕致死死刑規定不在該判決審查範圍內。

國民黨、民眾黨十月三十日三讀毒駕修法,將十年內再犯致死的最高刑度提高到死刑。民進黨團指出,藍白中午十二時三十三分提出共同再修正動議,下午一時便開始表決。攸關生死的刑法新版本,從提出到表決只有二十七分鐘。國會多數急著敲槌,死刑條文的法律理由卻沒有得到同樣重視。
行政院六月已有草案,七月經委員會審查,十月二十八日黨團協商仍無共識。先前討論加重刑責,無法取代對最後版本的逐條檢驗。三讀版本把一般毒駕致死提高為七年以上有期徒刑,又把十年內再犯致死提高為死刑、無期徒刑或十年以上有期徒刑。跨越死刑門檻,絕非改動幾個數字。
毒駕者明知施用毒品仍開車上路,對道路安全造成重大危險,嚴懲有其理由。然而,危險駕駛的故意與殺害他人的故意,在刑法上有不同意義。二○二四年憲法法庭對所審查的故意殺人死刑條文,要求犯罪情節達最嚴重程度及嚴密程序保障。這次新增的毒駕致死死刑規定不在該判決審查範圍內,立法者更應說清其罪責基礎與刑度比例。
國民黨立委洪孟楷因民進黨多數立委未參與表決,指責對方「縱容毒駕」。民進黨立委李坤城也曾提出毒駕致死最高可處死刑的修法版本。各案條件與內容仍有差別,投票紀錄也應接受檢驗;但將表決程序爭議等同放任毒駕,正好遮住死刑條文最需要回答的法律問題。
國會多數可以憑票數通過法律,卻無法用票數證明刑罰合乎比例。只要高舉「保護人命」,要求審查條文的人便被斥為冷血,往後每次加重刑責都能省下艱難的論證。掌聲留給提案者,倉促立法的後果卻由法院、被告與受害者家屬承受。
死刑是國家最嚴厲、不可逆的刑罰。藍白以生命安全為修法理由,更該花足夠時間審視條文。送進三讀只需票數,經得起憲法與司法檢驗,靠的是理由。二十七分鐘的政治勝利,替代不了立法者欠人民的說明。
