Live: Supreme Court resumes historic trial of Bolsonaro.
On Wednesday, the defense concludes its oral arguments. The ministers' votes are the next step.
247 - The trial of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and seven other defendants accused of participating in the coup plot of January 8th began this Tuesday (2), at the Supreme Federal Court (STF), and was resumed on the morning of this Wednesday (3). The defendants face charges for five crimes and could be sentenced to up to 43 years in prison if they receive the maximum sentence.
The president of the First Panel, Minister Cristiano Zanin, ended the proceedings at 17:55 PM on Tuesday, more than an hour earlier than scheduled, due to Minister Cármen Lúcia's commitments at the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). This Wednesday, the lawyers for General Augusto Heleno, Bolsonaro, and former ministers Paulo Sérgio Nogueira and Walter Braga Netto each have up to one hour to present their oral arguments. After the defenses, the ministers will begin reading their votes.
