PENERAPAN ASAS PERADILAN CEPAT, SEDERHANA, DAN BIAYA RINGAN (CONTANTE JUSTITIE) DALAM PERKARA PEMBUNUHAN (STUDI PUTUSAN NOMOR 308/Pid.B/2024/PN.Kpn)

Murder is a crime that is difficult to eliminate and is a complex problem that continues to be a concern in various parts of the world. Although various prevention efforts and law enforcement efforts have been made, the number of murder cases is still quite high. In the process of resolving cases, the justice system should also prioritize the principle of justice, as regulated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This principle of justice can be created through various principles of criminal justice. One of them is the principle of contante justitie which emphasizes a fast, simple and low-cost trial process. Based on this, the author is motivated to conduct an analysis of the application of the principle of contante justitie in a murder case with case number 308/Pid.B/2024/PN.Kpn. The writing method in this Final Assignment is through the empirical legal method. The author uses primary data, namely the data collection process carried out during the trial process, conducting interviews with the panel of judges, public prosecutors, and the defendant's legal advisor. As for the secondary data used, namely books related to the Criminal Code, the 1945 Constitution, and other legal materials. The results of the writing discuss the trial process from the reading of the indictment to the verdict and then the analysis related to the application of the principle of contante justitie in the a quo case, where the process of resolving the case and the application of the principle of contante justitie have been running as they should. However, the author suggests that it is necessary to establish laws and regulations that provide sanctions for violations of the principles of speed, simplicity, and low cost. So that justice seekers can obtain legal certainty without having to go through a complicated process and spend a lot of money.
