Keywords:
jury court, clemency absolution, decision distinctl contrary to the proofs, rationality controlAbstract
This article aims to analyze the possibility of rational control of clemency absolution decisions pronounced by jury court and their consistency with sovereignty veredicts principle. The jury model adopted in Brazil is rooted in the French ideology of total freedom of conscience for the jurors, relieving them from any duty to give reasons or rationality trial. Yet, contemporany conception implies rationality of power and institutions. In view of this, jurors clemency absolution decisions must be controlled through the model of procedure, in order to avoid the will and decisions influenced by discourses that admit, in an ethic and moral perspective, use of violence in forbidden situations by the Constitution.
