Os julgamentos do tribunal do júri sob influência da mídia: análises quanto às consequências jurídicas da espetacularização

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the media interference in cases of intentional homicide and aims to identify the limits of mass media involvement in the documentation of cases under the jurisdiction of the Jury Court. According to the bibliographic and documentary study conducted, it is emphasized that, in Brazil, several cases judged in plenary, such as Daniella Perez, Isabella Nardoni, and Boate Kiss, received extensive media coverage and, as a consequence, led to overexposure and the violation of the fundamental rights of the defendants. The theoretical framework draws upon authors such as Raphael Boldt, Gustavo Henrique Badaró, Fernando Capez, Uadi Lammêgo Bulos, Aury Lopes Jr., among others. The methodology adopted is qualitative, with a deductive approach, based on the analysis of information through bibliographic and documentary research techniques. The results show that sensationalism in mass media distorts reality, legitimizing state punitive violence, and that prejudices fueled by the media, along with public opinion pressure, tend to prevail over the body of evidence in the case files, condemning suspects or defendants before justice can take its course
