章莹颖案 受害人没找到就不能起诉谋杀罪 一说没有法律根据
看到华人媒体出现了一种理论称 ：
章莹颖案，目前情况并不是特别乐观：i受害人没找到，不能起诉“谋杀罪”。。。因
为美国遵守疑罪从无原则，即公诉人不能提出确实充分的证据证实被告人的罪行，法庭
经过庭审和补充也不能查明被告人有罪的事实，那么就只能判定被告人无罪。目前FBI
手头没有足够多的证据控告Christensen有谋杀莹颖的嫌疑，尽管联邦执法人员对嫌疑
人进行了窃听，但就目前公开的证据来看，只能起诉犯罪嫌疑人“绑架罪”。
考据起来，这好像是从检方传出来，并且得到章YY家华人律师赞同的。这很值得华人社
区警惕。
事实上， no body, no murder，这早已经是久远的法律历史。随着科技发展，凶嫌们
毁尸灭迹或者完全掩盖的本领越来越高，西方世界从上个世纪50年代起就开抛弃了这个
理论。当代法律仅仅需要环境证据circumstantial evidence，就可以证明某人已经死

，约33%左右，可见韧性是非常好的。
所以说秦剑确实是内韧外坚。外部的硬度，兵马俑中出土的秦剑检测数据是106HRB，约
296HV。（《秦俑坑出土的兵器》《丝绸之路》 1999年01期）。
鄂州博物馆的董亚巍研究员复制的战国青铜剑，用18％锡含量，5％铅含量（这个铅含
量用高了，秦剑含铅量平均在1%以下，因此硬度和韧性更高一些）
实验结果证实，这种青铜剑内韧外坚，外部硬度约290HV，可以印证兵马俑秦剑的检测
结果。
