问题 单项选择题

某甲因盗窃罪案发被捕,在侦查人员对其审讯期间,交待了自己与李某诈骗4万元的犯罪事实,并提供了同案犯李某可能隐匿的地点。根据这一线索,侦查机关顺利将李某追捕归案。对某甲的盗窃罪如何处罚( )

A.应当减轻或者免除处罚

B.应当从轻或者减轻处罚

C.可以从轻或者减轻处罚

D.可以减轻或者免除处罚

答案

参考答案:C

解析:根据《刑法》第68条以及《最高人民法院关于处理自首和立功具体应用法律若干问题的解释》,一般立功的主要表现形式是:检举揭发他人犯罪行为,包括共同犯罪案件中的犯罪分子揭发同案犯所参与的共同犯罪以外的其他犯罪行为,查证属实的;提供重要线索,从而得以侦破其他案件的;协助司法机关抓捕其他罪犯(包括同案犯)的;阻止他人犯罪活动的等等。在本题中,某甲因涉嫌盗窃罪而被羁押期间,主动提供犯罪嫌疑人即同案犯李某的隐匿地点,司法机关正是根据这一线索,才顺利将李某追捕归案,故某甲的行为属于协助司法机关抓捕其他罪犯的立功行为;同时,被抓捕的李某罪行一般,并非须判无期徒刑以上刑罚(题中没有交代该诈骗案件在本省、自治区、直辖市或者全国范围内有较大影响等情形),所以应当视为一般立功表现而非重大立功。当然,某甲交待自己与李某诈骗4万元犯罪的事实如果为司法机关尚未掌握的罪行,同时可构成自首,但应视为诈骗罪的自首而非盗窃罪的自首,这是应当明确的。   立功者的刑事责任。根据《刑法》第68条之规定,犯罪分子有一般立功表现的,可以从轻或者减轻处罚;有重大立功表现的,可以减轻或者免除处罚。犯罪后自首并有重大立功的,应当减轻或者免除处罚。这里应当注意不同情况下的处罚原则是不同的。   综上所述,本题最佳答案是C。

单项选择题

At the public radio station KEXP in Seattle, there’s a simple procedure for evaluating new technology. "We just go ahead and do stuff," says one of the station’s morning disc jockeys. That’s how the quirky station created one of the first music podcasts—without support from major record companies.
A podcast is a digital recording of a radio-style audio program that can be downloaded from the Internet and played on a digital music player. Many podcasters think the technology could revolutionize radio as TiVo did television.
Podcasting is a great way for KEXP to reach thousands of new listeners, especially those outside of Seattle. But the station can’t podcast programs such as John in the morning—a variety of independent and mainstream music—because record companies haven’t provided an easy, affordable way for podcasters to license songs. That’s why most podcasts today are talk radio.
KEXP decided that it couldn’t sit around and wait and wait for a major label to sign off on this. So it invited 14 unsigned or small bands from the Seattle area to contribute songs to a podcast. The station asked a lawyer—a listener who volunteers at the station—to draw up a simple contract for the bands. KEXP did not release numbers but said the podcast was a hit. KEXP is now podcasting some live performances to which it owns the rights.
Since podcasts are recordings, they can be played at any time. Listeners can pause, fast-forward or rewind them. And since podcasts are posted online, listeners can download programs from radio stations and independent broadcasters from all over the world. The podcasts can also be hacked and pirated. An enterprising listener could pull songs out of a podcast and turn them into music files or CDs.
That’s why many record companies say the technology is promising but problematic. But record labels worry that listeners will pirate the songs contained in the downloaded radio shows. For example, OK Go and several other emerging bands with EMI have their own podcasts. But EMI is not ready to approve a blanket podcasting license. "Podcasting is potentially very exciting," says Executive Vice-president Adam Klein. The result: yet another Napster-like standoff over piracy and music rights.

With "another Napster-like standoff over piracy and music rights", the author is using a metaphorical device that can be termed in any of the following EXCEPT ______ .

A.allusion

B.citation

C.quotation

D.reference
