Abstract

The current project has the intention to realize a critical analysis about the media influence faced by the Jury Court, as well as bringing some possible solutions for the mentioned issue. The media has an important role in the society, because it is the mean way of communicate information to people; however, it is finite by the other fundamental rights, since it’s unrestrained acting can damage those rights, which are ensured to everyone. Besides, it is not known exactly when did the Jury Court was founded, but the most accepted position is the one who says it was in the age of 1215, with the Magna Carta. In Brazil the institute was born in 1822 to judge crimes against the Empire, introduced to the 1824 Constitution; and after that only the 1934 Constitution didn’t include it. Jury’s rite has two phases: judicium acusationis and judicium causae; on the second one the court condemn or absolve the accused. In addition, in Brazil Jury Court tries intentional crimes against life, as well as having its own characteristic, which will be individually explained in the course of this project. Besides, it will be, as well, discussed about the real influence of media over the population and, therefore, its effects to the judgement by the judges. At the ending there will be described some potential purposes that could reduce or even solve the problem.
