Abstract

The article comments on a Superior Court of Justice judgment that allowed the replacement of imprisonment with restrictive penalties, based on Law 9,714/98, for a person convicted of an offense under the Drug Law. The exposition examines the rapporteur's vote and the objective and subjective conditions of article 44 of the Penal Code. The investigation adopts the methodology of jurisprudential and doctrinal analysis. The text argues that a heinous crime is not an obstacle to replacement, that each case must be examined according to its particularities and concludes that the rigidity of the magistrate in applying penalties must be overcome.
