Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
A defendant held for more than 29 months and convicted at first instance of aggravated homicide appealed against an order of the President of the Supreme Court rejecting his habeas corpus application, invoking the presumption of innocence and the right to liberty. The Court terminated the proceedings as moot because his conviction had since become final and his detention was no longer a precautionary measure.
