This raises problems in the level of practice when the childis confronted as a victim of an immoral crime, usually there are no witnesses who see and hear the criminal events committed by the perpetrator sofcrime. Instead, there is only child (not yet capable of law) as a witness who experienced the crime. However, the child's information is only used as a guide or only used to streng then the belief of the Judge because the information given by the child is considered not to meet the requirements as a witness information according to the Criminal Procedure Code.

With regard to prosecution, Article 109 of the Criminal Procedure Code states that there are 3 reasons for stopping prosecution, namely that an event is not a criminal act, there is not enough evidence collected by investigators to prove the fulfillment of the elements in a criminal act and for the sake of law. The Criminal Code, First, with regard to the application of the principle of ne bis in idem. Second, if the Defendant dies, Third, Expires, Fourth, Settlement outside the court, Article 82 of the Criminal Code has described if an offense is threatened with a fine only, then prosecution can be avoided by paying the maximum fine directly. Against corporations, prosecution is limited by a number of provisions, in this case also including when the corporation is bankrupt. That as a result, if the entire corporate assets are included in the bankruptcy code, there will be a transfer of corporate licenses and an impact on the liquidation process. Thus, based on the provisions of Article 142 paragraph (1) of Law no. 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, the corporation is dissolved.

The legal requirement for a witness's statement is when a witness takes an oath. However, in article 171 letter b of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) states that a person may give testimony without swearing, that is, a person who has memory loss or mental illness, although sometimes his memory is back. In psychology is referred to psychopaat, but the information given cannot be justified perfectly and his information is only used as a guide or additional legal evidence tool as long as it is compatible with legal evidence tool. This study uses the typology of doctrinal research with a legislation approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. Witness testimony given without the oath is considered not a valid evidence but is used as an adjunct to perfect the strength of legal evidence tool because it can strengthen the judge's conviction.Keywords: Evidence Tool; Witnesses; Mental Disorder; Responsibility.AbstrakKeterangan saksi merupakan alat bukti pada urutan pertama dalam KUHAP sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa tiada suatu perkara pidana yang luput dari pembuktian keterangan saksi. Syarat sah keterangan saksi adalah ketika seorang saksi mengucapkan sumpah. Namun pada pasal 171 huruf b KUHAP menyatakan bahwa seseorang boleh memberikan keterangan tanpa sumpah yaitu orang yang mengalami sakit ingatan atau sakit jiwa meskipun kadang-kadang ingatannya kembali dalam ilmu penyakit jiwa disebut dengan psychopaat, tetapi keterangan yang diberikan tidak dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara sempurna dan keterangannya hanya dipakai sebagai petunjuk atau tambahan alat bukti sah asalkan berkesuaian dengan alat bukti sah. Penelitian ini menggunakan tipologi penelitian doktrinal dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan kasus. Keterangan saksi yang diberikan tanpa sumpah dinilai bukan merupakan alat bukti yang sah namun digunakan sebagai tambahan untuk menyempurnakan kekuatan pembuktian alat bukti yang sah karena dapat menguatkan keyakinan hakim.Kata Kunci: Alat Bukti; Saksi; Gangguan Jiwa; Tanggungjawab.

<p>A judicial institution has criteria that must be met, namely principles that are open, corrective, and recordive. The broadest opportunity to submit corrections and recordings of decisions that have permanent legal force (inkracht) deemed unfair by justice seekers can be done through a Judicial Review. However, the Judicial Review is very limitative, one of them with the requirement for novum. But the regulation of conditions can be said to be a condition as a novum not strictly regulated. By looking at this matter, the research is carried out with the aim of finding out the validity of court decisions which have not been inkracht as novum in the submission for reconsideration. This study is using a normative research method. In conclusion, court decisions that have not been inkracht as novum in submitting judicial review are valid because they need to prioritize the value of justice and truth before legal certainty. As long as the prerequisites in Article 263 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code have been fulfilled, and one of the requirements in paragraph (2) has been fulfilled.</p>

ABSTRAK Praperadilan yang diatur dalam KUHAP menjamin perlindungan HAM dan aparat penegak hukum dalam menjalankan tugas dan kewenangannya secara konsekwen. Lembaga praperadilan telah menciptakan mekanisme kontrol sebagai lembaga yang berwenang melakukan pengawasan terhadap kinerja aparat penegak hukum dalam menjalankan tugasnya guna tercipta proses peradilan pidana yang baik. Terkait dengan penegakan hukum dan pemberantasan korupsi, Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi merupakan lembaga yang diamanatkan oleh undang-undang dengan wewenangnya untuk menetapkan status tersangka guna proses penyelidikan dan penyidikan tindak pidana korupsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui akibat dari perluasan objek praperadilan atas penetapan status tersangka terhadap KUHAP dan mengetahui akibat dari perluasan objek praperadilan terhadap penetapan status tersangka tindak pidana korupsi oleh KPK. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian yuridis normatif melalui pendekatan konseptual, pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus. Sebelumnya, sah atau tidaknya penetapan status tersangka oleh KPK bukan merupakan objek praperadilan, namun melalui Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 21/PUU-XII/2014 praperadilan telah berwenang memeriksa sah atau tidaknya penetapan status tersangka. Hal ini menjadi sebuah pembaharuan dalam Hukum Acara Pidana di Indonesia. ABSTRACT Pretrial regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code guarantees the protection of human rights and law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties and authorities consistently. The pretrial institution has created a control mechanism as an institution authorized to supervise the performance of law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties in order to create a good criminal justice process.This study aims to determine the effects of the expansion of pretrial objects over the determination of the status of suspects against the Criminal Procedure Code and to determine the consequences of expanding pretrial objects to determine the status of suspected criminal acts of corruption by the KPK. The research method used in writing this thesis is a normative juridical research method through the conceptual approach, the statutory approach and the case approach. Previously, the KPK was not a pretrial object or not, but through the Constitutional Court Decision Number 21 / PUU-XII / 2014 the pretrial had the authority to examine whether or not the status of the suspect was determined. This has become a renewal in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code.

The presence of witnesses in the evidence is the keyword in disclosing the facts of criminal cases. The crown witness is often present at court. However, there are many differences of opinion in the Jurisprudence regarding the use of crown witnesses in court because there is no legal regulation that explicitly regulates the use of crown witnesses in criminal justice. Based on these problems, this study described how the protection of the rights of defendants as crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence and how the position of crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence. This research was designed using a normative legal research method and a conceptual approach. In the Criminal Procedure Code, there is no prohibition for a defendant to provide information for other defendants as far as using a splitsing system so that defendants who are crown witnesses still receive legal protection. The decision of the Supreme Court Number 1942 K / PID / 2012 which in its verification process used a crown witness. In this case, the public prosecutor presented the crown witness due to the lack of evidence especially witness testimony evidence. The role of the crown witness is very important to uncover criminal events because the defendant knows, sees, and commits criminal theft with violence. The result of this study showed that the protection of the rights of the defendant as a crown witness is equated with the rights of the defendant in general, which is regulated in Article 50 to Article 68 of the Criminal Procedure Code and witness rights set out in Article 5 of Law Number 31 of 2014. The position of the crown witness is justified in proof-based on the Circular Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia Number B-69 / E / 02/1997 of 1997 concerning Proof Law in Criminal Cases.

Discriminatory treatments of judges have dominated the reports to the Judicial Commission. Injustice, in fact, is one of the lowest value attitudes of judges according to Judicial Commission assessment results. Indeed, showing justice is not easy for judges but to date in its development appears restorative justice that provides justice for all parties. Its future existence and response are interesting to be criticized. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to examine the paradigm of restorative justice in making legal decisions of judges on legal cases and the construction of the judges’ decisions which are paradigmatic in Restorative Justice. This research uses normative legal research with four types of approaches, which are case approach, legislative approach, conceptual approach, historical approach, and comparative approach. The results of the study show the restorative justice paradigm prioritizing restoration or amelioration will seek to provide justice, certainty and usefulness of the law, as well as realize progressive and responsive laws, and this makes it appropriate to be used as a judge’s paradigm in deciding a case. In constructing restorative justice-based judges’ decisions, judges do only make decisions based on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), but substantially, through the restorative justice paradigm the judges will consider justice for all parties (victims, perpetrators of crime, and the public). Judges do not make decisions based on retributive or retaliation goals but hold on to the values, concepts, principles, and basics of restorative justice prioritizing restoration or amelioration of the parties, meeting the needs of the parties, and prioritizing expediency.   Discriminatory treatments of judges have dominated the reports to the Judicial Commission.
