Tribunal do Júri

Tribunal do Júri, or Jury Trial, is a legal process in which a group of citizens (the jury) is responsible for evaluating evidence and deciding whether a defendant committed a serious crime, typically homicide. The jury’s role is to assess the facts presented during the trial and determine guilt or innocence based on the law and evidence. This system aims to ensure community participation in justice and provide an impartial judgment. In jurisdictions like Brazil, the Tribunal do Júri is specifically reserved for crimes against life, emphasizing the community's role in resolving these serious cases.
