Sérgio Moro: The murderer, after this atrocious crime, was taken to the judge, who released him at a custody hearing, with only an electronic ankle bracelet.
Sérgio Moro: Look, the custody hearing is an institution that has its usefulness in allowing the judge to have immediate contact with someone who was arrested in the act, and the judge is able there to decide whether this person may answer the charges while at liberty or must remain detained.
Under no circumstance, I imagine that someone arrested in the act for the murder of a pregnant woman should be released.
Sérgio Moro: An individual like that, besides the cruelty and atrocity of this crime, poses a danger to other individuals.
Sérgio Moro: He poses a danger to society. Whoever murders a pregnant woman in cold blood does not deserve any treatment other than the rigor of the law.
