The Supreme Court of Justice altered the original sentence, substituting a driving ban with a good behavior bond for the defendant. The court noted the concurrence of faults, low degree of negligence, passage of time, lack of criminal record, and the defendant's need to drive for their profession. Consequently, the stricter penalty was deemed excessive given these mitigating circumstances and professional necessities.

SUMÁRIO

A inibição da faculdade de conduzir, aplicada na sentença ao reu condenado por homicidio involuntario, deve ser substituida por caução de boa conduta, tendo em atenção a concorrencia de culpas, o grau de negligencia não muito elevado, o tempo decorrido, a ausencia de antecedentes criminais e a necessidade do reu conduzir para exercer a sua profissão.
