台中市1名73歲林姓婦人因家境困頓,又長期獨自照顧臥病在床的丈夫,身心承受巨大壓力,竟要求蔡姓兒子協助完成最後心願,母子相偕到大肚區一處登山步道後林婦持刀自刎,蔡男依母親囑託伸手協助,造成林婦大量失血身亡,台中地檢依加工自殺罪嫌將蔡男起訴,台中地院今天開準備程序庭,蔡男坦承犯行,律師則以他「謀為同死」請求判處免刑,並聲請不行國民法官審理,以免造成父親、兒子身心傷害。

檢警調查,蔡家經濟狀況長期不佳,林婦多年來獨力照顧臥床丈夫,身心俱疲萌生輕生念頭,蔡男不忍母親受苦,依母親要求陪同準備相關物品,今年3月3日下午,蔡男先騎機車前往大肚遊園路一家商場購買水果刀,隔日再購買金紙,疑似作為告別式用。

接著,3月5日凌晨1點30分,蔡男騎車載媽媽前往大肚區一處登山步道入口,林婦持刀自刎,但因年邁體力不足,傷勢未能立即致命,蔡男在母親請求下協助完成,導致林婦因頸部大量失血,當場失去生命跡象。轄區烏日分局警方獲報到場,依法報請檢方相驗。

台中地檢署綜合相驗報告、蔡男供述、監視器畫面、購買紀錄及現場扣案證物等證據,認定蔡男涉案事證明確,依加工自殺罪將他起訴,全案將由國民法官審理。

台中地院今天開庭,蔡男坦承檢察官起訴事實,辯護人強調,此案屬家庭內部案件,若以國民法官參審制度審理,將相關事實公開於社會,不僅蔡男父親身心受創,也無助於社會教化。且蔡男前段婚姻有年幼小孩,若公諸於世,恐對小孩身心造成傷害,並對父親(蔡男)不諒解,因此聲請不行國民法審,改以普通程序審理。

法官則整理此案爭點,包括量刑、是否有刑法59條情堪憫恕的情形,以及是否宣告緩刑,至於是否不行國民參審候核辦。
