Q & A

What are the key differences between the inquisitorial, accusatory, and mixed systems in criminal procedure?

The inquisitorial system concentrates the roles of investigator, accuser, and judge in one person, leading to partiality and a lack of rights for the accused. In contrast, the accusatory system separates these roles, ensuring impartiality and protecting the rights of the accused, including broad defense and contradictory rights. The mixed system blends elements of both, with an inquisitorial investigation phase and an accusatory trial phase.

How does the inquisitorial system affect the accused's rights?

In the inquisitorial system, the accused is treated as an object rather than a subject with rights. There is typically a lack of contradictory rights and broad defense, and the accused's confession is often the only means of proving guilt. This system does not guarantee fairness or transparency.

What is the role of the judge in the accusatory system?

In the accusatory system, the judge acts impartially and is separate from the roles of the accuser and the defense. The judge's responsibility is to evaluate the evidence presented by both parties, ensuring a fair trial based on the principle of impartiality.

What does Article 7 of the Brazilian Criminal Procedure Code (CPP) allow regarding the reproduction of facts?

Article 7 of the CPP allows police authorities to simulate events of a crime as part of an investigation, provided it does not violate morality or good customs. This is used to clarify details of a crime when needed for the investigation.

What is the significance of the accusatory system in the Brazilian legal system?

The Brazilian legal system has adopted the accusatory system, where the roles of investigator, accuser, and judge are separate. This promotes impartiality and protects the rights of the accused, ensuring the fairness of the legal process.

How is the accused treated in the accusatory system?

In the accusatory system, the accused is treated as a subject of rights, with dignity and protection of fundamental rights. They have the right to broad defense, contradiction, and a public trial, ensuring that the process respects their human rights.

What is the role of evidence in the accusatory system?

In the accusatory system, all evidence presented is given equal value. The judge is responsible for assessing the evidence impartially, determining guilt or innocence based on the merits of the case, and not relying on any single piece of evidence over others.

What is the importance of studying the Criminal Procedure Code (CPP) for public service exams?

Studying the Criminal Procedure Code (CPP) is essential for understanding the legal framework that governs criminal procedure in Brazil. It provides the foundation for answering exam questions correctly, particularly those related to the different criminal procedural systems and their characteristics.

What should be the focus of preparation for the Bahia Civil Police exam based on the lecture?

The focus of preparation for the Bahia Civil Police exam should be on understanding the different criminal procedural systems (inquisitorial, accusatory, and mixed), the key principles of the Brazilian legal system, and specific provisions like Article 7 of the CPP. Consistent study, practicing with questions, and reviewing laws are essential for success.

What is the best approach to preparing for competitive exams, according to the lecturer?

The best approach to preparing for competitive exams involves a structured study routine. This includes reading and understanding the law (such as the CPP), solving practice questions regularly, and reinforcing knowledge by revisiting key concepts. Consistent practice and focusing on understanding rather than memorization are key to success.
