Os aspectos sociológicos do Tribunal do Júri: a influência da mídia na escolha dos jurados

Abstract

The present work deals with the implications of the media in Criminal Law, assessing the possibility of its influence in different criminal cases. As a more specific objective, this study focused on examining the existence of the clash of rights guaranteed by the Magna Carta, such as the right to full defense and the contradictory and non-culpability, all positive in article 5 of our Major Law. With this, it seeks to verify the effects of criminal spectacularization, that is, how the media treats current cases more as a spectacle than a legal case. In the methodological aspect, the research will have a bibliographic and descriptive character, using concrete cases that occurred, where the media constantly reported the development of processes, interfering positively or negatively in their solution. About the results, the research revealed that the phenomenon has great influence today, and causes damage in the application of several fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens.
