“It worries the legal community the path that has been taking the judgment of part of the accused by the serious facts of January 8.
“In the specific case of the hairdresser Débora Rodrigues dos Santos, she is accused of armed criminal association, violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup d’état, damage qualified by violence and serious threat against the heritage of the Union and with considerable damage to the victim and the deterioration of overturned assets.
“However, the fact that it is proven is summarized to the reprehensible graffiti with lipstick from a valuable public monument, where he wrote with the phrase:” Lost, Mané. “
“The vote of Minister Alexandre de Moraes calls for 14 years in prison, initially closed, and 30 million reais for collective moral damages.
“The understanding shared by the denunciation and vote of Minister Moraes is, from the technical-legal aspect, worrying: does not individualize conduct and blames all, indistinctly, for the conduct of others of violence and attack on institutions. Regarding the dosimetry of conviction, it does not seem to follow any affable criteria.
“At a good time, Minister Fux, who can see if the heavy accusations against Débora are in terms of their effective conduct during January 8, in compliance with constitutional rights and guarantees, which are independent of the accused’s ideology.
“St. Augustine said in the midst of the barbaric invasion of Hippona:“ Difficult times, terrible times, say men. But time is us. As we go, so will the times! ” This judgment is expected not to represent a historical setback within the scope of criminal proceedings, which must be fair and technical for everyone, whatever the political inclination. ”
