During a turn, Idaliana allegedly lost control of the steering wheel, climbed onto the sidewalk and hit Mirivan Moraes Soares, who was walking carrying her son, Matheus Soares de Oliveira, aged 2. Mirivan died at the scene. The boy was rescued, but he did not survive his injuries during the journey to the hospital. Prosecution and defense The Public Prosecutor's Office maintains that the accused assumed the risk of causing a fatal result by allowing an unlicensed person to drive the vehicle on a public road. For this reason, the couple was charged with homicide with possible intent, a type legally classified as simple homicide. The defense argues that the case should be treated as manslaughter, when there is no intention to kill. During the investigation phase of the case, the then judge of the 1st Court of the Jury Court, Fábio César Olintho de Souza, rejected the defense's request and decided to take the defendants to trial by the Jury Court. What the trial will be like The session will be presided over by judge Rafael Rodrigo da Silva Raposo. The hearings of ten witnesses, nominated by the prosecution and the defense, are planned. Afterwards, the defendants will be interrogated and debates will begin between the Public Prosecutor's Office and the defense. Prosecutor Clarissa Brito will act in the prosecution. The defense will be carried out by lawyer Eguinaldo Moura. Remember the case After the collision, Jean Paulo and Idaliana were arrested in the act, but had their prison sentence relaxed after a custody hearing. At the time, the Court ruled that the arrest had been illegal, highlighting that the couple remained at the scene of the accident and provided aid to the victims. Since then, the two have responded to the case in freedom until the trial by the Jury Court, responsible for deciding whether the accused will be convicted or acquitted.
