Bolsonaro's Lawyers Appeal Coup Conviction

Brazils former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has filed a new appeal to overturn his conviction for plotting a coup, seeking a full review by the Supreme Court. His defense team argues that the single dissenting vote in his initial conviction should invalidate the trial. Bolsonaro, who maintains his innocence, was convicted last September for a plan to prevent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from becoming president. He is currently detained at police headquarters, with his lawyers seeking a return to home confinement due to health issues. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
