During the custody hearing held on Thursday (11), Brendo dos Santos Sampaio, 26, arrested for running over and killing two young women in São Caetano do Sul, said the signal was yellow and that there was no time to brake the vehicle.
“I was traveling on the street normally, coming back from college, home, when I came across I was looking at the traffic light in front and saw that he yellowed, when I looked at my time, I saw that he was still green, then it was yellow and reddish, it was when I met with the two women,” said Brendo during the audience.
The law student says he left the vehicle and was on the scene until the victims arrived.
“And then I stopped the car, tried to help, a guy who was by my side he was already triggering ambulance and I stayed there until everyone’s arrival.”
Brendo said he was able to get help. “I was at the scene, I tried to help. I had some possible residents, I believe they are close residents and I was not in a position to help, to call emergency room, but there was a person by my side that he called.”
The driver also said that he had no resistance during the arrest and performed all the requested exams.
“I took all the requested exams, ethyl alcohol, toxicological blood test, urine I did all,” he said.
At the hearing, the magistrate converted the arrest in the act of Brendo to pre -trial detention. The judge pointed out that “the accused’s car was full modified to generate more power in acceleration, with two sports exhausts, implying that he participates in ‘crack’.”
“In any case, disrespect and lack of empathy with other people, as well as contempt for social rules and coexistence prevent their release at this time. The accused, before the narrated, would not have care about the consequences of his conduct, believing in impunity,” says the judge, in the decision.
In a statement, Brendo lawyers claim that he provided help immediately after the accident and would not have seen the victims, as the traffic light, according to the defense, was red for them.
