DUCE JULIO, Mauricio. Abbreviated and simplified proceedings and the risk of wrongful convictions in Chile: findings from an empirical research. RDUCN [online]. 2019, vol.26, 12.  Epub 19-Nov-2019. ISSN 0718-9753.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22199/issn.0718-9753-2019-0012.

Identify, through an empirical research, the presence of factors and dynamics of work in our criminal justice system which creates risks of wrongful convictions in the use of the abbreviated and simplified procedures with guilty pleading. I attempt to establish if some aspects depicted in the comparative experience as those increasing the likelihood of wrongful convictions are present in our reality. The main findings indicates that several of those elements are present in Chile and, therefore, the scenario could be more complex than we believe in this regard.

Palabras clave : Plea bargaining; Wrongful convictions; Abbreviated procedure; Simplified procedure.
