O fim da incomunicabilidade no tribunal do júri (Projeto de Lei nº 8.045/2010 – Câmara dos Deputados) : avanço ou retrocesso democrático?

Abstract

The Court of Jury has always aroused interest not only from the academy, but also from all legal practitioners and the population in general. It is a secular institution and has several nuances, considering the peculiarities of each country. In Brazil, the Jury Tribunal was created in 1822 and has since undergone numerous changes. In the Chamber of Deputies, Bill No. 8,045 / 2010, which aims to publish a new Code of Criminal Procedure, is being processed. Among the proposed changes, the present work aims to analyze 01 (one) point, that is, the possibility of jurors' communicability on the merits of the criminal case. Therefore, the Jury's History is foreshortened. The legislation of other countries is discussed. An analysis of the theme is made in the light of Brazilian legislation and, at the end, the question “democratic advance or regression?” is answered, without, however, exhausting the topic.
