Staff | truthdig.com | 2019-11-15
The Brazilian Supreme Court reversed a 2018 ruling on November 7, upholding the principle of innocent until proven guilty in the 1988 Constitution and declaring it illegal to jail defendants before their appeals processes have been exhausted. Within 24 hours, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was released to an adoring crowd of hundreds of union members and social movement activists who had maintained a camp outside the police station where he was held, shouting "good morning," "good afternoon" and "good night" to him for 580 consecutive days. | The Supreme Court had previously ruled, on April 5, 2018[md…
