宜蘭縣長選舉进入白熱化階段,國民黨與民進黨候選人在律師制度與法治議題上爆發衝突,涉及刑事訴訟法第31條強制辯護規定的解釋。
宜蘭縣長選戰司法交鋒煙硝四起,面對國民黨參選人吳宗憲今天聲稱「沒攻擊律師制度」,民進黨參選人林國漳反擊,狠酸吳放任黨團抹黑卻裝無辜,根本是「神也要當、鬼也要當,連傑克都沒有這麼神奇」,投機行徑全被國人看在眼裡,更惹怒全國律師、踐踏法治底線。
吳宗憲今天參加吳沙開蘭230週年,赴故居祭祖,接受媒體聯訪時稱「從沒攻擊律師制度」、「不解林國漳一直叫他回應?」針對吳宗憲急於切割,林國漳反嗆,國民黨立院黨團大動作開記者會潑髒水,身為不分區立委的吳宗憲難道毫不知情?還在專訪時稱不贊同此手法,這樣的兩面法手,大家都有看到。

林國漳強調,全國律師聯合會、台北與宜蘭律師公會及台灣刑事辯護律師協會等四大法律團體齊聲發難,絕非為他個人,而是藍營攻擊已嚴重踐踏法治底線,同具法律背景的對手陣營,竟帶頭混淆視聽,惡意將辯護人與被告畫上等號,這種摧毀司法防線的抹黑,已徹底惹怒全國律師。
林國漳指出,被告若涉犯罪受罰是天經地義,但辯護人旨在確保程序正義,促使判決令人信服。依《刑事訴訟法》第31條規定,縱使是殺人、貪污等重案,皆屬強制辯護範疇,必須有律師在場程序才合法,絕無承辦特定個案就等於「不正義」或「非公益」的荒謬謬論。
同台聲援的宜蘭市長參選人韓瑩接力開火,痛斥藍營手段卑劣、帶壞選風。她嚴正呼籲對手陣營應向林國漳及全國法律人鄭重道歉,切莫再藉由扭曲刑事訴訟制度,遂行選舉抹黑,更不該為了一黨選情私利,肆無忌憚地侮辱、踐踏所有法律人堅守的憲政專業尊嚴,選舉應回歸陽光理性,以政見與願景爭取認同,而非沉溺於惡質抹黑。
