Rogerio Alves, Managing Partner from RA, was one of the signatories of the manifesto against prolixiity in criminal justice released last June 26th and explains his point of view in the July 7th edition of Jornal Expresso.
For Rogério Alves, if most things have one”maximum capacity”, this also happens with”patience to read encyclopaedic texts, the ability to absorb what is written in them, relating what they transmit to the evidence collected and to be collected, with the contradictions produced and with the reasoning that underlies them.”” We must combat the”procedural obesity”, well this one”Does it have perverse effects on records”: the normal deadlines are no longer enough to cover the entire matter to be analyzed, legitimate claims tend to be seen as”delaying maneuvers” and”the system, always concerned about the public condemnation of delays, tends to reject what should be granted and to reject what should be accepted”.
