Resumo: The current drug legislation established certain criteria to distinguish the crimes of drug use and trafficking, creating two different models of state response to these crimes. This research focuses on sentences related to drug trafficking crimes in order to understand how judges draw a distinction between drug users and drug traffickers. We have analyzed a sample of all the first instance sentences from the Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro in 2015 in order to establish a series of categories which allow judges to justify their decisions in drug trafficking cases. This research is an empirical qualitative legal research based on document analysis as the basic research technique. The analysis of the data was conducted through a grounded theory framing and the results point to the key role of the witnesses in the decision-making process of the judges.

Esta pesquisa debruça-se sobre sentenças que versam sobre o crime de tráfico de drogas para entender como os juízes diferenciam os crimes de uso e tráfico. A partir da análise de uma amostra de todas decisões de primeira instância do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro do ano de 2015, pudemos estabelecer uma série de categorias pelas quais os magistrados justificam a sua decisão em matéria de tráfico de drogas. Trata-se aqui de uma pesquisa empírica de cunho qualitativo, que contou com a técnica de análise de documentos como base. A análise foi realizada lançando-se mão da teorização fundamentada nos dados (TFD) e os resultados apontam, em conformidade com a literatura da área, para a centralidade da prova testemunhal na distinção entre usuários e traficantes.Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2019-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/45610.19092/reed.v6i3.456Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 6 No. 3 (2019): Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; 140-172Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 6 n. 3 (2019): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; 140-1722319-081710.19092/reed.v6i3reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/456/239Copyright (c) 2019 Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPeixoto Azeredo, Felipe FranciscoFranco Xavier, José Roberto2019-12-31T19:23:18Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/456Revistahttps://reedrevista.org/reedONGhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/oaimvchein@gmail.com||reed.revista@gmail.com2319-08172319-0817opendoar:2019-12-31T19:23:18Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito - Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)false
