Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice granted habeas corpus to release a defendant from preventive detention. The court held that when a defendant faces both a military crime and a distinct common court offense, the preventive detention must be based on the common court charge. Consequently, the detention order issued by the military tribunal was invalid because it relied on the wrong legal basis.

SUMÁRIO

Se o crime essencialmente militar imputado a um réu, cuja acção corre no foro competente, por juridicamente distinto do que lhe é também atribuido no tribunal comum, será por esta segunda infracção que se pautará a prisão preventiva, independentemente do que acolá lhe haja sucedido.
