Justice Luiz Fux\u2019s vote in the Supreme Court\u2019s First Panel on Wednesday (10) cements the more defendant-friendly approach he has adopted during the criminal proceedings over the\u00a0coup plot<\/a>\u2014a departure from the tough-on-crime posture that marked his role in the Car Wash anti-corruption task force.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At the start of his remarks, Justice Fux questioned whether the Court had jurisdiction to try former President Jair Bolsonaro and echoed a central argument of the defense teams: that there was not enough time to review the \u201cbillions of pages\u201d of case files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Justice Fux was once known for his hard line on criminal matters, earning him the label of one of the court\u2019s most staunch Car Wash supporters. In recent months, however, he has emerged as the main dissenting voice in the trial involving Mr. Bolsonaro and the January 8, 2023, attacks on Brazil\u2019s halls of power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When the first cases of the rioters who stormed the headquarters of the three branches of government came before the court, Justice Fux joined Justice Alexandre de Moraes in imposing harsher sentences. Now, however, he has positioned himself as Mr. Moraes\u2019s main counterweight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The turning point came in March, when Justice Fux requested more time to study the case of D\u00e9bora Rodrigues dos Santos, a hairdresser who spray-painted \u201cGame over, sucker\u201d on the Justice statue outside the Supreme Court. When he cast his vote, Justice Fux argued for a sentence of one year and six months\u2014far below the 14-year prison term ultimately imposed by the First Panel.<\/p>\n
