The pocketist Jorge Guaranho, accused of killing the Municipal Guard and Petista militant Marcelo Arruda, enters the final stretch on Thursday (13), in. He is accused by the prosecutor of double -qualified homicide, for futile reasons (political divergence) and common danger (fire shot in an environment with others).
The crime occurred in July 2022 in, in western Paraná, but the trial takes place at the State Capital Jury Court.
On the morning of Thursday, just before 10 am, the debates began between the prosecution and the defense, the last stage of the trial before the decision of the Judgment Council, which is made up of seven jurors, four women and three men. Their names were drawn at the opening of the work, on Tuesday (11).
The expectation of the parties involved in the process is that the sentence of Guaranho leaves in the early afternoon.
“If the jury’s result contradicts what the defense believes to be justice, not revenge, certainly the defense will act in appellate media,” anticipated one of Guaranho’s lawyers, Eloi Dore, in a press interview.
Before the trial began, in a rapid statement to the press, Guaranho stated that what happened was a fatality and denied that the crime has a political relationship. He on Wednesday night, answering questions from defense lawyers and the jury for about two hours. He declined to answer the questions of representatives of the Public Prosecution Service.
In total, in person and remotely.
This Thursday, the representatives of the Public Prosecution Service are the first to talk, for up to an hour and a half. The prosecution is being made by prosecutors Roberta Franco Massa and Ticiane Louise Santana Pereira and the prosecutor Lucas Cavini Leonardi.
The same time later is reserved for the defendant’s defense. Then prosecutors and lawyers can again talk to the jurors for another hour each. Thus, the maximum debate time will be two and a half hours for each part.
In the end, the seven jurors gather to decide the case. It will be up to the judge, Mychelle Pacheco Cintra Stadler, to make the sentence.
