Bolsonaro's Coup Conviction Uphold

Brazils Supreme Court unanimously rejects Bolsonaros appeal, upholding his conviction for attempting a coup. The former president, who has been under house arrest since August, faces a 27-year and 3-month prison sentence. The court dismissed all defense arguments, stating there were no omissions in the original sentencing. Bolsonaros legal team had sought to reduce his sentence, arguing that the charges overlap and cumulative penalties are unjust. The court has until November 14th to formally submit their votes, with a change in decision highly unlikely. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
