At the same hearing, Prime Minister Thiago Quintino Meche, Jefferson in the case that ended with the death of Gabriel, was cleared from the prosecution. When asked the jury to convict Prime Minister Negão da Madeira, the Prosecutor, Romeu Galiano Zanelli, charge of the prosecution, requested the acquittal of Thiago for having understood that he was not guilty of the offense.

These are problems in the family, finances, work. I was suffering from depression, I was taking medication for sleeping and an arrhythmia, an allergy crisis. ..

" He never approached well, he crashed "
a police action that resulted in the death of Gabriel took place at the end of the night of April 16, 2017 in Jardim Domitila, city of Ademar, south of the city of São Paulo. The versions presented by the prosecution and the defense dealt with a rapist, on the one hand, and a victim of the community who was a victim of a plot that "hates the police and is full of criminals" .
the testimony of three witnesses before hearing the statements of the two accused. The prosecution and the defense asked their questions after the reports to the judge. Two of the lines were drawn in camera, only for jurors and without the presence of the public. In addition to the remarks made by the deputies, Roger Luiz Paiva dos Santos, brother of Gabriel, could be seen.
Roger claimed that Gabriel and he were at the grocery store of their mother when they decided to go to the neighborhood to smoke. Gabriel and some friends were at the front in a van while he waited for his cousin to go after. When he went looking for his brother, he did not find him and learned from an acquaintance of the neighborhood that he "moído" and, later, another l & # 39; alerted: "PM are sitting on the stick". At his approach, he saw that Gabriel was sitting on the ground.
"I saw the Prime Minister on a beaten person with a piece of wood and it was only later that he was my brother." He was dying. hit and the other just watched did nothing, "he said.He went to the hospital where the cops took his brother.Gerard was hospitalized for four days in Pedreira Hospital He had never woken up after the beatings
"I got there and they already asked if I was a relative of Gabriel. They knew what they had done. They told me that he had fallen and hit his head. When I entered, I recognized him looking through his foot, "he said." The next day, locals found his blood-filled cap thrown into the creek and came back. The Negão da Madeira has never made a good approach, it has always struck and threatened me before. "In a video obtained by Bridge Prime Minister Jefferson appears to be striking random people with a piece of wood during an action.
Jefferson and Thiago were arrested in July 2017, three months after the crime, because they were threatening witnesses Denunciations by local residents indicated that Jefferson would be walking in plain clothes in the Domitila Garden, according to the community, other police officers have been looking for witnesses of the crime to convince them to change the version of Gabriel's death. They had asked them to "think of the family of the policeman."
In his testimony before the jurors, Jefferson pointed out that he had attended a funk ball event and that his supervisor had ordered him to e make the benefits of the neighborhood to avoid other agglomerations. He was supporting another car: Arriving in one of the neighborhood streets, a lady would have screamed for help. It was at that moment that he got out of his car and that PM Ferla, commander of the other car, came out. They both found Gabriel lying on the floor, according to his version.
"The woman called for help and disappeared, there was no one in the street, I am accused of being a simple police officer, the charges were never pbaded on to the chief. "I have an eight-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who treats AACD without ever harbading anyone," Jefferson said. "If I had beaten, I would not have been left alone with shallow cuts, it would have gotten worse."
PM Thiago's tour then took place. He explained that he had not come down from the vehicle with his partner, but that he had been approached later with the order of Jefferson. "He got out of the car, lost his look [Jefferson] .I was only at my seventh service of the afternoon.When we finished, the people l & # 39; thanked. "Thank you, let's sleep in peace today." There are a lot of funk dances out there, "Thiago said.
After questions from Jefferson's attorney and defense, Thiago's lawyer, who had chosen not to question the client, turned around. Attorney Celso Machado Vendramini said he only wanted to tell the jurors that Thiago was not with Jefferson when he said he found Gabriel's body. The question made a difference in the final decision.
Known Aggressor x Community Plot
After hearing witnesses and defendants, it was the turn of Attorney Zanelli Junior and the accused to show their theses to the jurors and convince them that Jefferson would or would not be responsible for the death of Gabriel. Not mentioning Thiago's name was intentional: in his speech, Zanelli asked the Prime Minister's acquittal for not finding any clear evidence that he had seen Jefferson's action in execution.
In support of Jefferson's indictment, nicknamed "Negão da Madeira" in the neighborhood, the MP's representative alleged that the company was to punish the bad police. which "endangers the population and their colleagues in uniform". In addition, he pointed out that he had traveled with another policeman to meet Gabriel and the speech of three witnesses, who had shown their fear before the jury when they examined the police officer – according to his speech, because the testimonies were held in camera
"Jefferson made a police nut, killed for being truculent, what he did not only dishonor the uniform is a lack of respect for human life.It is above all a coward for hitting a piece of wood on a child who was fleeing him, "said the prosecutor, calling Negão da Madeira a" murderer, a criminal. "
The police officer's defense ignored this speech. preferred to invoke a community conspiracy to justify his indictment before a popular jury. Joelmir Menezes, a defense lawyer, listed the neighborhood as a high-risk criminal and pointed to recurring cases of funks with "traffickers, people with guns and drugs".
"The police saved Gabriel, a witness at this time, Jefferson never had the nickname of Negão da Madeira, it was created after the death of the boy.The community established the link, the negro of Madeira was a legend and, seeing the case, it had to be blamed on someone, and that was Jefferson, "he said.
Menezes maintained that it was a "critical region". stolen cars, gun criminals and drug trafficking, "the Prime Minister's visit is not welcome." There was an opportunity to blame an active prime minister in the neighborhood and they did so . It was attested that Gabriel did not see well and he ran. No good citizen runs from the afternoon to an alley. "One of the protected witnesses did not appear before the jury because he had settled in Pará. According to the prosecutor, for fear of what he could do, he could have escaped. "
Make a PM who beat a boy with a stick until his death. Already for the defender, the disappearance has another explanation. "To hold a testimony against a arrested Prime Minister is no risk, the Prime Minister defends us," he said, without explaining that Jefferson was arrested after the charge of witness threats.
The thesis of conspiracy and racism did not stick to the jury Jefferson, the Negão da Madeira, was sentenced to 24 years and six months in prison, according to Justice Debora Faitarone, the judge wanted to exclude the prime minister from "having no conditions to defend society, but to represent a risk" and to "embarrbad society"
. Families end up suffering twice in these cases because the defenses try to disqualify the victims and justify the brutality and cruelty of the police, "said Ariel de Casto, Condepe's lawyer and advisor (Board of Trustees). State for human rights) "The decision also serves to prevent the same police officer, who has been sentenced, from making new victims and preventing other police officers from committing similar acts", he added.
