Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was convicted in September of attempting a coup following his 2022 electoral defeat and was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison.

The majority of justices on Brazil’s Supreme Court panel reviewing former President Jair Bolsonaro’s appeal rejected his request on Friday.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the case’s rapporteur, rejected all defense arguments, calling them “unfeasible,” and said there were no omissions in the sentencing. Justices Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin concurred with De Moraes. The vote of Justice Cármen Lúcia is still pending, but she is expected to align with the other panel members.

The panel has until Nov. 14 to submit their votes, and the decision won’t be finalized until then. Although unlikely, justices could change their votes before then.

Nice to see that, at least somewhere on this rock, wannabe tyrants are held accountable.

Meanwhile, its a common phrase in Brazil to say “if this was a serious country, […] wouldnt be allowed to happen/that guy would be in jail already”.

As allowing a pandemic to destroy nearly all of Brazil, so pretty much abetting mass murder, he can go fuck himself in the slammer.
