The scope of pretrial authority is regulated under Article 77 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), with an extension of authority introduced through the Constitutional Court Decision Number 21/PUU-XII/2014. The evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings is governed by Article 2 paragraphs (2) and (4) of the Supreme Court Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2016 concerning the Prohibition of Judicial Review of Pretrial Decisions. However, in practice, petitions for pretrial often address matters beyond this prescribed authority. Moreover, there remains a disparity in judicial reasoning across different judges, particularly with respect to the evaluation of evidence in the determination of a suspect.The legal issues examined in this study are: (1) whether the expansion of the pretrial authority’s scope has led to multiple interpretations among law enforcement officers, and (2) how the evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings aligns with the principle of legal certainty. This thesis employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings of this thesis reveal that the expansion of pretrial authority has indeed created multiple interpretations among law enforcement officials, owing to inconsistencies in pretrial decisions that result from judicial discretion. Furthermore, the evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings ought to be limited to the formal aspects of investigative or prosecutorial actions. Nevertheless, certain pretrial rulings have considered the substance and quality of evidence, and even assessed the conduct of the suspect. Such practices undermine legal certainty for justice seekers. Therefore, the Supreme Court should issue more concrete regulations concerning the scope of pretrial and the evidentiary standards applicable in pretrial proceedings.

Criminal liability is a form of imposing punishment on the perpetrator of a crime because of his/her unlawful actions. In other words, criminal liability determines whether a person will be acquitted or convicted of a crime that has been committed. This process involves the transfer of the existing punishment for the crime to the perpetrator. This research is a normative research. The results of the research show that Criminal liability for perpetrators who participate in the crime of murder, anyone who intentionally helps, plans, or plays an active role in murder can be held criminally responsible, either as the main perpetrator or as a participant (medeplichtige or medepleger). The sanctions imposed depend on the role and level of involvement of each perpetrator, in accordance with the principle of criminal responsibility and the element of error in criminal law. This must be reviewed carefully by the judge so that in making a decision on the defendant, it can have a deterrent effect on the perpetrator and not cause unrest for the victim's family regarding the decision handed down by the judge. The judge's decision to impose a light sentence on the perpetrator who participated in a crime that resulted in the death of a person shows an imbalance in law enforcement. This injustice can be caused by the judge's non-objective considerations, weak evidence, or lack of bias towards justice for the victim. This kind of decision risks weakening the deterrent effect and public trust in the justice system.
