correiodoestado.com.br (Portuguese)

Ex-prefeito Alcides Bernal, arrested for murder, has not had a freedom request filed by his defense team nearly 20 days after the crime. His lawyers are finalizing a habeas corpus petition, citing health issues and awaiting medical documents, aiming to file it today. Other defense requests, including the return of seized cell phones and sealing the investigation, have been denied. The investigation suggests Bernal fired a second shot seconds after the first, potentially undermining self-defense claims. His defense has not yet provided documentation for his firearm.
