THE Justice of São Paulo denied the production of Psychiatric Report of Maicol dos Santos . The request was rejected by the court, after positioning the Public Prosecution Service of São Paulo (MP-SP) and the defense of the suspect, who positioned themselves against the report requested by the São Paulo Civil Police.
The magistrate’s decision was the second negative in less than a week. PC-SP had already scheduled the procedure for April 8, without judicial authorization, which according to Maicol’s lawyers is illegal.
THE Public Prosecution Service of São Paulo The production of this report had already been positioned. In the manifestation of MP-SP the agency asked the police authority to justify such a demand. After the justification, the MP reiterated that there was no need to elaborate the opinion.
Understand decision
In the decision vetoed the production of psychiatric report of the only suspect in the Vitória case the magistrate understood not to be the case of the exam. Even if we weigh the justifications of the police authority.
In the request, the police justified that Maicol had unstable behavior and changes in the state of mood, as well as superficiality in the allegations. The judge, however, says the behavior is understandable.
For the court, Maicol’s behavior towards the police is backed by the fact that the suspect is accused of a serious crime of great social repercussions. It reinforces in the decision that the prosecutor himself did not identify strange behavior in the suspect, when there was face -to -face contact with the Defender.
Reconstitution
Regarding the request of the presence of Maicol dos Santos, in the reproduction that must reconstruct the dynamics of the crime, the court upheld the lawyers’ request so that the suspect was not required to participate in the simulation.
In the order, the magistrate established the diligence for simulation, considering that the presence of Maicol is not indispensable for the work of the police. The decision follows the understanding of the representatives of Maicol.
The decision, however, points out that if the suspect is interested in participating in the reconstitution, in the future, the request is already denied in advance. Saves the magistrate that the change of understanding of the defense must follow the deadline established in the decision.
