Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice annulled a lower tribunal's decision regarding three questions on homicide intent. The parties argued that answering positively to direct intent while negatively to necessary or eventual intent created a logical contradiction. The court ruled that these distinct modalities of intent are not mutually exclusive, allowing such a response without inconsistency.

SUMÁRIO

Formulados três quesitos, um por cada modalidade que o dolo pode assumir no crime de homicídio, não haverá contradição se o tribunal responder positivamente ao atinente ao dolo directo e negativamente aos restantes.
