Resumo: The paper aims to investigate the multiple factors, including institutional ones, that give rise to judicial errors originate, considered inescapable elements of any trial system. In addition to analysing the influence that the criminal process through the media can have on the judge's free conviction, the paper examines a number of emblematic cases of unjust convictions based on false confessions, misinterpretation of intercepted communications, unreliable testimony and incorrect reconnaissance, without neglecting the errors committed at the scene of the crime, which are in most cases due to the inexperience or carelessness of investigative personnel.  In a de iure condendo perspective, possible solutions are explored in order to avoid wrongful convictions or charges or, at least, to reduce the dramatic effects that judicial errors produce, in an immediate and direct way, on the personal and patrimonial sphere of the victim of a wrong justice administration. Finally, the author focuses on the reparative instruments provided by the Italian legal system, analysing not only their function but also the criteria that the judge has to consider when quantifying the compensation.

L’opera, oltre ad analizzare l’influenza che il processo penale mediatico può determinare sul libero convincimento del giudice, esamina alcuni casi emblematici di condanne pronunciate su false confessioni, errata percezione di comunicazioni intercettate, testimonianze inaffidabili e ricognizioni scorrette senza tralasciare gli errori commessi sulla scena del crimine originati, nella maggior parte delle ipotesi, da inesperienze o disattenzioni del personale investigativo.  Vengono individuati, in una prospettiva de iure condendo, i possibili rimedi finalizzati ad evitare condanne o imputazioni ingiuste o, quantomeno, a ridurre i drammatici effetti che gli errori giudiziari provocano, in via immediata e diretta, sulla sfera personale e patrimoniale della vittima di una errata amministrazione della giustizia. Infine, l’A. si sofferma sugli strumenti riparatori previsti dal sistema giuridico italiano analizzando non soltanto la loro funzione ma anche i criteri che il giudice deve considerare nella quantificazione dell’indennizzo.Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal - IBRASPP2022-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/article/view/71610.22197/rbdpp.v8i3.716Brazilian Journal of Criminal Procedure; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2022)Revista Brasileña de Derecho Procesal Penal; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2022)Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal; V. 8 N. 3 (2022)Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal; v. 8 n. 3 (2022)2525-510X10.22197/rbdpp.v8i3reponame:Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal (Online)instname:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal (IBRASPP)instacron:IBRASPPitahttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/article/view/716/470Copyright (c) 2022 Domenico Mastrohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMastro, Domenico2022-10-29T14:04:35Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/716Revistahttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPPONGhttps://revista.ibraspp.com.br/RBDPP/oairevista@ibraspp.com.br2525-510X2359-3881opendoar:2022-10-29T14:04:35Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal (Online) - Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal (IBRASPP)false
