The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the request to suspend the execution of the criminal sentence. The defendant, a married man with a minor child, committed assaults and insults against a police officer performing official duties. Although the court acknowledged the mitigating circumstances of his family situation, it found the violence to be non-vulgar and indicative of violent instincts, warranting continued punishment.

SUMÁRIO

Não e de suspender a execução da pena ao arguido, não obstante ser casado e ter um filho menor a seu cargo, que, em relação a funcionario que actuava no exercicio dos seus deveres, cometeu o crime de ofensas corporais de consequencias não muito graves mas revelando instintos violentos não vulgares, e o de injurias, utilizando expressões alta e sabidamente ofensivas.
