A influência da mídia nos julgamentos do Tribunal do Júri e o pleno exercício do princípio da presunção de inocência

Abstract

This article deals with the influence exerted by the media in cases of trials before the jury, in particular, cases that acquire a greater proportion and social relevance, that is, processes of great commotion and their conflict with the principle of presumption of innocence. It aims to highlight the problem in which there is blatant disrespect for the Federal Constitution itself, which in its article 5, LVII, establishes that no one will be considered guilty until the definitive criminal sentence is reached. Furthermore, it seeks, through concrete cases, to demonstrate the harm caused by the great media exposure of the pronouncement, since media exposure often forms the opinion of lay jurors in advance, and forms of full guarantee of the principle of presumption of innocence in these cases in specific.
