• Abstract: The development of the Internet era has made the circulation andinteraction of information extremely simple, and the development of the ruleof law has become increasingly closely related to the network media, so theenthusiasm of the public to express their opinions on judicial cases has alsobecome higher and higher. In the era of the rapid development of the Internet,the speed of information dissemination is fast, and the public can be informedof major criminal cases across the country in a timely manner and express theiropinions on the Internet. Moreover, in order to uphold judicial openness andpromote the efficiency of the rule of law, public opinion is gradually taking intoaccount in judicial adjudication, so it is inevitable that there will be a conflictbetween judicial adjudication and public opinion, but judicial fairness cannotbe swayed by the agitation of public opinion. For example, the typical JiangGe case and Yao Jiaxin case have aroused a violent reaction in society, which isnot only the handling of criminal cases by the law, but also the emotions andmorality of the people. The difference in judicial culture is one of the reasonsfor the different reactions of China and Japan to the Jiang Ge case. The fact thatthe defendant in this case was not sentenced to death is a normal consequenceof Japan's unique death penalty policy. It is particularly important for judges tostrike a balance between impartiality in administering justice, rationally andcorrectly viewing public opinion, and taking care of public sentiments. 互联网时代的发展使得信息流通与交互变得异常简单，法治工作的开展也与网络媒体之间的联系日益密切，因此民众对司法案件发表意见的积极性也越来越高。在互联网迅速发展的时代，信息传播速度快，民众对全国各地的重大刑事案件都能及时获悉，并在网络上发表意见。且为了坚持司法公开，促进法治效率，民意也逐渐作为司法审判的考虑因素，那么就不免会发生司法审判与民意相冲突的情况，但司法公正不能被民意的激动情绪而左右。如典型的江歌案和药家鑫案，在社会上引起了剧烈的反应，这不仅是法律对刑事案件的处理，也是民众情感与道德，网民或是社会群众都会通过媒体等渠道来表达自己对案件审判结果的看法，民众呼声的高涨对案件的审理无形之中造成了巨大压力。司法文化的相异是造成中国和日本对江歌案反应不同的原因之一。本案被告人没有被判处死刑，属于日本独特的死刑政策的正常结果。法官如何在公正司法，理性正确看待民众舆论，和照顾社会大众情绪之间达成平衡尤为重要。
