Defense history and strategy
The trial, which analyzes the death of the 4-year-old boy in 2021, had been postponed in March after the defense left the plenary.

Jairo Souza Santos Júnior's lawyers seek to point out conflicting information in expert reports, alleging changes in the document 40 days after the fact.

The former councilor and Monique Medeiros, the victim's mother, are charged with triple homicide, torture and procedural fraud.
