ERROS JUDICIAIS NO BRASIL: PRISÕES DE INOCENTES NO PAÍS

Abstract

This research aims to describe judicial errors and the complex web, delving into the depths of the flaws that can compromise the integrity of the system. The quest to resolve cases quickly, often under pressure from public opinion, can lead to superficial investigations and hasty decisions. We will analyze how the desire for quick conclusions can compromise the quality of justice and trigger harmful errors. Additionally, we will investigate how limited time to analyze evidence can result in incorrect interpretations. To prepare this research, the bibliographic review technique was used, in a qualitative research framework, which allowed the data to be analyzed and interpreted through theoretical supports such as theses, dissertations and updated scientific articles. Therefore, the information we have in Brazil about the number of cases in which system errors and wrongful convictions occur is little publicized. Along these lines, there is no research that systematically provides data on the total number of wrongful convictions, nor any work that establishes the probability or percentage of cases in which innocent people could be convicted. On the other hand, there is no complete record of cases in which serious errors occurred in the system or even of people who were exonerated after unfair conviction.
