The death symbolic of Vinicius Gritzbach, delator do PCCin November 2024, was not the only life lost that day. THE app driver Celso Novais also died with rifle shots.
The Jury Court at the Guarulhos Forum began judging Denis Antonio Martins, Ruan Silva Rodrigues and Fernando Genauro da Silva, this Monday (22). Military police officers are defendants and accused of executing the victimsat Gate 2 of Guarulhos International Airport.
“He also needs to be remembered”
The app driver’s mother traveled from Brasília to São Paulo, and calls for justice.
Accompanied by their daughter, the victim’s sister, Aparecida Camila, aged 65, they argue that the Celso’s name will be remembered after the attack who victimized the family member.
Although the case took on proportions due to Vinicius Gritzbach, the death of the app driver, which had nothing to do with the denunciation process involving the largest faction in the country, is not of minor importance. In addition to brother and son, Celso left three children.
How the Jury Court works
During the trial of the Gritzbach case, 21 witnesses will be heard, nine for the prosecution, one common to the MP and the defendant Juan, two for the defense of the defendant Juan, two for the defense of the defendants Juan and Denis, two for the defense of the defendant Denis and five for the defense of the defendant Fernando.
The initial step for the jury is the draw of jurors. The stage has 25 people who can be selected. Of these, seven are drawn to form the Sentencing Council.
They read the main parts of the process, to find out about the case judged. It is the Sentencing Council that decides on the conviction or acquittal of defendants. The judge is only responsible for presiding over the proceedings, carrying out the dosimetry of the sentence in case of conviction and writing the sentence.

From there, the hearings of witnesses begin. The defendants are then interrogated.
After the interrogation, the debate phase begins, in which representatives of the prosecution and defense present their arguments to the Sentencing Council.
Firstly, it is the prosecution party who has the floor. If there is only one defendant, speaking time is one and a half hours. In the case of two or more defendants, the time is two and a half hours.

Then, it is the turn of the defendants’ defense to speak for the same period of time. However, if there is a reply from the MP, the time is another hour (if there is one defendant) or two hours (if there are two or more defendants) for the accusation and the same time for the defense’s rejoinder.
One of the last steps is when the Sentencing Council meets in the secret room to vote on the questions and decide on the conviction or acquittal of the defendants. Finally, the judge prepares and reads the sentence.
