Poder Judiciário Brasileiro e a mídia: uma análise acerca da cobertura televista no caso da jovem Eloá Pimentel.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the great influence exerted by the media in certain cases of great repercussion, whether local or even national, more specifically on the decision of certain courts in concrete cases that may have suffered direct interference from the media. This discussion is justified by the fact that the media, as a means of disseminating information and forming public opinion, is increasingly using its means to disseminate information in a sensational and arbitrary way, especially in cases of great repercussion that directly affect the opinion of society, therefore interfering in the perspective that individuals hold about the Judiciary in Brazil - and even - being able to interfere in the judge's own decision as a public servant, or the opinion of the jury, since these are people with less instruction about the Brazilian criminal procedure. Thus, based on a systematic review of the relevant literature, the present study intends to present the judiciary, its performance and function, as well as emphasizing the principles that govern criminal procedural law in Brazil. Subsequently, the study presents the Brazilian media, bringing its panorama, concept, and social function in the current context, still in this linear, it also reports on the regulation of the media in the Brazilian scope, presenting the duality between freedom of expression, guarantee of the right to information and the principle of publicity. Finally, the study intends to demonstrate the application of this divergence between the media and the judiciary, presenting the case of a 15-year-old student, Eloá Pimentel, who was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfrie
