Os corpos gritam para ninguém: uma análise dos laudos periciais produzidos pelo Instituto Médico Legal Nina Rodrigues no caso da Chacina do Cabula

Abstract

This work has the objective of answering the following question: The reports done by the Nina Rodrigues Legal Medicine Institute allow the making of truths that embrace other narratives beyond the ones done by the State? To engage with this proposition, this research works with the case's study of the criminal lawsuit involving the homicide arising from opposition to police intervention on February 6th, 2015, on the neighborhood of Cabula, Vila Moisés, on the city of Salvador/Bahia. The event also known as "Chacina do Cabula". Utilizing the qualitative research method, we worked on documentary research of the case: denouncement, requirements, judicial correspondences, inquiries, decisions, sentences and all the forensic reports and technical evidence added to the case. The theoretical framework that guided this work was the Critical Criminology, taking attention to the selective and punitive features of the Criminal Justice System. We used bibliographical reference that state terror as patent in Brazil as Ana Flauzina, Thula Pires, João Costa Vargas and Frantz Fanon, but also legal anthropology sources as a fundamental lens to interpret the judicial itinerary to produce death and silencing, like Flávia Medreiros and Juliana Farias. In that sense, it was possible to perceive the forensic reports as they are done at the IMLNR, are not clear enough to change the “justiçamento” (means: practices of the judiciary that collaborate with black people genocide, not only judicial validation of police violence, but with the application of excessive sentences and incarceration for black people) according to Whiteness as power structure.
