Resumo: Jean Calas, formally charged with the crime of parricide, was tried and convicted without evidence. The absence of the materiality of the alleged criminal act was suppressed by the conviction of the magistrates, allied to the popular outcry of the masses occupying the streets, claiming for justice. From the analysis of this historical judgment, located in the French courts of the eighteenth century, the article intends to draw attention to the risks arising from the influence of public opinion on the course of criminal proceedings. Using bibliographic sources, it will be shown that intolerance was the guiding thread that guided the procedural rite, leading to the condemnation of an innocent man. In times of judicial activism we can learn from history, but it is not certain that we will.

A ausência da materialidade do suposto ato delituoso foi suprida pela convicção dos magistrados, aliada ao clamor popular das massas que ocupavam as ruas, reivindicando por justiça. Partindo da análise desse julgamento histórico, situado nos tribunais franceses do século XVIII, o artigo pretende chamar a atenção para os riscos decorrentes da influência da opinião pública sobre o curso do processo penal. Utilizando-se de fontes bibliográficas, será demonstrado que a intolerância foi o fio condutor que direcionou o rito processual, acarretando na condenação de um homem inocente. Em tempos de ativismo judicial, podemos aprender com a história, mas não é certo que o faremos.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2020-02-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/135910.31977/grirfi.v20i1.1359Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 20 n. 1 (2020); 289-3022178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/1359/985Copyright (c) 2020 Edimar Brígidoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBrígido, Edimar2020-06-30T18:13:14Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/1359Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2020-06-30T18:13:14Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
