Criminal lawyer Paulo Freitas Ribeiro gave an interview to the television program Fant\u00e1stico to explain one of the legal issues debated after the conviction of Monique Medeiros, Henry Borel’s mother: the possibility of a judicial pardon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the interview, the legal expert highlighted that Brazilian law provides exceptional situations in which a judge may waive a criminal sentence when the consequences of the act itself have already imposed an extremely severe punishment on the offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Paulo Freitas Ribeiro :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A judge may grant a judicial pardon if they understand that the event affected the offender in such a serious way that punishment becomes unnecessary. A classic example is a traffic accident in which a driver commits negligence or recklessness that results in the death of a very close relative. This consequence is so personally devastating that imposing a criminal sentence no longer makes sense.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawyer emphasized that a judicial pardon does not mean acquittal or a declaration of innocence. It is a legal mechanism provided by law for specific situations in which the judge understands that the suffering caused by the consequences of the act has already fulfilled the purpose of punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The discussion gained nationwide attention following the trial related to the death of Henry Borel, a case that shocked Brazil and continues to generate debate regarding criminal responsibility, sentencing, and the application of legal principles within the Brazilian justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
