Résumé:
Law is constantly evolving, this evolution is necessary for each legal branch to adapt
to the needs and social interests of its time, avoiding obsolescence and remaining
relevant to social development. However, with the constant updating of legal rules, new
institutes appear in the field of law and, if not properly adapted to the principles that
govern the legal system, may be at odds with the very bases of the legislation from
which they derive. The plea bargain is an institute recently introduced to the majority
of the Brazilian people, although its history in the criminal process is old. Therefore, it
is necessary to address their requirements and guarantees regarding the rights of the
accused. The present work will seek to define and contextualize the plea bargain and
its application in the legal system, present positive and negative aspects of its presence
in current law and discuss its application in Brazil, in some of the cases of greatest
repercussion in the history of Brazil, in order to discuss its constitutionality. This is an
explanatory research whose selected medium for obtaining the necessary information
for the research was the bibliographic survey, with the consultation of several sources
of information, which uses the deductive method and seeks, finally, to make an
assessment on the use the instrument of the plea bargain in Brazil and its real impacts
on the national order, concluding by the constitutionality of the institute.
