Acre Court of Justice judicial rulings

Overview

The Court of Justice of Acre (TJAC) has issued several significant rulings regarding criminal sentencing and legal application.

In a decision concerning domestic violence, the Criminal Chamber ruled that convicts serving open sentences cannot be automatically subjected to electronic monitoring. The court stated that such measures must be based on “concrete evidence of an actual risk to the victim” rather than presumption. Additionally, the court determined that mandatory monitoring requirements from the “Anti-Femicide Package” law cannot be applied retroactively to crimes committed before the law took effect.

In other matters, the TJAC upheld the conviction of a manager for violating pandemic sanitary measures by allowing crowds and alcohol consumption at a gas station. Separately, the court overturned a previous sentence to acquit an individual of attempted robbery resulting in death and corruption of minors, citing insufficient evidence and the principle of “in dubio pro reo” after investigation testimonies failed to withstand judicial scrutiny.
