The retired public defender who called a delivery man a “monkey” in Niterói (RJ) is expected to be indicted for racial slur next week. If the Public Ministry decides to make the complaint and the justice agrees with the punishment, she could end up sentenced to up to three years in prison for the crime.
Although delegate Carlos César Santos did not tell the CNN who decided to blame the woman for the crime, the report found that the trend is for indictment. “I will try to complete the investigation by Friday [dia 20 de maio]. The images don’t lie, they speak for themselves,” he said.
Santos also stated that he will consider the history of complaints against her at the conclusion of the investigation. The woman is accused of injury on five other occasions and still has two counts of bodily harm and one of embarrassment. “I will consider all the history and what I already have”, said the delegate.
What he has is the cell phone video image, in which she appears calling the delivery man a “monkey”, and also a security camera image of the condominium, which proves that the cell phone video was not edited and also shows her shooting. a can against the delivery van. In addition, the two victims were heard.
What he doesn’t have is her explanation for all of this. The former defender failed three times for scheduled depositions at the 81st police station, in Itaipu, Niterói. According to Santos, a lawyer appeared at the police station around 8 pm this Thursday (12) and said he represented her, claiming that the woman could not testify the next day because she was shaken and medicated.
“She is giving up her means of defense, she could come and present her defense”, said the delegate. THE CNN tried to contact the defender, went to her house, but she refused to speak or even give the contact of a lawyer.
