Jury in the Brazilian Legal System, highlighting respectively, its origin, its application in the
comparative law, the constitutional principles governing the institute, besides boarding the
Jury as a right and as a guarantee. Therefore, the present study seeks to provide further
information about this institute, which is discussed in the item XXXVIII of the 5th article in
the Federal Constitution, resorting to the constitutionalist researchers in order to verify
whether or not there is a distinction between Right and Guarantee, particularly in the People's
Court. The work presented is justified and proves itself relevant as it seeks to discuss the Jury,

attempted or accomplished crimes, in which the citizen acts with the intention to kill,
analyzing the basic principles that regulates the People's Court, which are: the fullness of the
defense, the secrecy of voting, the sovereignty of the verdicts and the competence for the trial
of crimes against life. In order to achieve the objectives mentioned, it was used the historicalevolutionary, dialectical and comparative methods, by using bibliographical and virtual
research. It was carried out the systematization and gathering of information extracted from
the criminal doctrine, articles from the internet, and Judicial Bodies. In this concerning, there
is also the approach and the influence of the discourse of the Prosecution and Defense, in the
oral debates that occur in court, emphasizing the importance of the Jury in this context.
