He is defendant for attempted coup d’état.
It is no little and at the same time it is melancholy. Since the political opening, it is the fourth former president of the Republic (Collor, and Temer) to face the rigors of criminal justice.
The first class of the procedural phase efficiently efficiently. The complaint was received in two days, without lenga-lenga. Defendants would like the process to drag itself slowly, as it is from the tradition of the Supreme itself.
After the trial, a simple confession: admitted that he discussed military commanders “hypotheses of constitutional provisions”. To enable the blow.
Three events draw attention.
The presence of the audience was intended to create embarrassment for judges and encourage co -religionists, as who says “I’m still here.” He pretended to be a good boy, a kind of jammerous coup, but does not mislead: preparations for the escape are already made. At the time h, it won’t be here anymore. Reasons for prison exist. In addition to the evidence of guilt, the risk of escape, the commander of the coup attempt has ancestry in the military.
The movie presented by the rapporteur is a shot in the foot. It shows that the magistrate still acts with the liver. He played to the audience, for the viewers who watched the trial on TV: the ministers never had a doubt about the extreme violence of events on January 8. On the other hand, it gave ammunition to the discourse of the defenses.
The third surprise is the speech of, recognizing, at a moment and inadequate place, the exaggeration of the penalty imposed (in another process) to the woman who peppered with lipstick the statue of justice. The penalty is indeed exaggerated, but the minister wanted to create a fair skirt for Alexandre de Moraes. In fact, it is the second sign of encouragement that Fux emits to scammers. The first, the day before, was the expired vote of the competence of the plenary for the judgment of the case.
In theory, now the instruction begins. Defenses can have access to everything and ask for skills. Witnesses listed by the prosecution and defense will probably be asked by first instance judges (letters of order) and not by the rapporteur minister. If he does not establish deadlines, the outcome of the case can go to the calendar. Then it is the moment of the interrogation of the defendants.
It remains to be seen whether the defenses will try any measure for the STF plenary to be part of the procedural theater, thus delaying the progress of the cause.
