During the trial, Monique accused Jairinho for the first time for her son's death. During interrogation, she stated that she believed that the former councilor was responsible for the attacks against Henry. In the final stretch of the jury, this Wednesday, Monique cried several times during the parties' arguments.

During the indictment, the Public Prosecutor's Office showed videos and images of Henry alongside his father, Leniel Borel, including records of the last images of the child in the playground of a condominium during the last weekend before his death.

Prosecutors also showed images from the building's elevator security cameras, showing Henry on Monique's lap next to Jairinho hours before the death, as well as photographs from the forensic examination carried out at the Instituto Médico-Legal.

In the final phase of the defense, Monique's lawyers showed videos of the child with her mother and argued that she had been a victim of gender-based violence and an abusive relationship.

The former councilor, in turn, denied the accusations. After debates between the prosecution and defense, the sentencing council met to vote on the questions. The decision ended with the conviction of the two defendants for the death of Henry Borel.
