    Acusación y sentencia como expresión del juicio moral frente al homicidio
    (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, 2021) Yoana Monsalve
    This paper addresses moral meaning of homicide within the criminal justice system, specifically through the procedural acts that reflect the practice of prosecutors and judges in defining homicide, ways for its consummation, circumstances and quantum of punishment. Based on the review of ten judicial files for convicted killers, indictments and convictions were analyzed in order to select arguments for moral inculpation and grading punishment, which overwhelmingly match between prosecutors and judges and allow to predict, from the beginning of the procedure and despite plea bargaining, the final outcome of the convicting sentence.
