A soberania do júri, a seleção dos jurados e o racismo institucional: “de negro só tinha o acusado”

Abstract

This project aims to identify the possible flaws that are perceived in the selection of the training body of the Jury Court and the consequences that this choice may be causing, namely, irreversible damage to the convicted. Such conflicts may be related to poor choice and the inadequacy of the composition of the jury. These are always part of the local area where the event occurred, and they may already be contaminated by the media and by the condemnation of public opinion against black men. In addition to the lack of knowledge of the technical terms of the operators of the law when discussing the facts and evidence, which leads to the need for change, it is necessary to think about a significant share of people of the declared race of the accused who can compose the body picture of the Jury Court.
