CRIMES CONEXOS NO TRIBUNAL DO JÚRI: ANÁLISE PROCEDIMENTAL E DESAFIOS À REGULARIDADE DO JULGAMENTO

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the procedural framework applicable to the trial of connected crimes by the Jury Court in Brazil, focusing on practical challenges and the procedural safeguards involved. The research is based on the observation that, although the reunion of intentional crimes against life with other related offenses of a different nature may be beneficial in terms of procedural economy and evidentiary coherence, its application demands careful to the way the process is conducted. The study outlines the procedural steps to be followed, presenting critical reflections and proposals for improvement aimed at safeguarding fundamental rights, and also discusses the legal foundations of this procedural connection and its practical implications. Through the analysis of legislation, jurisprudence, and legal doctrine, the paper concludes that, although the joint trial of non-homicidal offenses by the Jury Court May enhance procedural flow, it requires specific safeguards to avoid unfair and disproportionate judgments.
