ETA I'm not entirely sure that it's Joao pictured in the stills of the dismemberment.
Thanks Misty. It rather reinforces the opinion of the appeal court judge who said ...
Snip"The simple reading of the conviction shows that the only evidence that allowed to establish the events that led to the death of Joana is the reconstitution of the facts, carried out in the course of the investigation with the collaboration of the defendant João Cipriano, but without the presence of the defendant Leonor Cyprian. There were no face-to-face witnesses, the defendants referred to the silence of the trial, their statements in the investigation could not be assessed by the Court and it was not possible to directly examine the corpse.
"How did the jury find out that the child was beaten by the two defendants? And how did you know he hit his head on the corner of the wall? And what was visible bleeding from the mouth, nose, and temple, through the clashing on the wall? And that such strikes and fall caused the death of the child? And that the two defendants were assured (!) Of the death of the minor? And then they quartered the corpse and put it in plastic bags in the drawers of the cold ark?
"The answer to these questions was obtained solely by the reconstitutions of the defendant João Cipriano, since the other means of evidence indicated in the sentence allow to affirm that there was a death, but not how it happened and who provoked it ..."
"The assessment of uncorroborated reconstitutions of the defendant Leonor, as it happened, is unlawful and unconstitutional and should have led to her acquittal for the crime of homicide. This was no longer the case for the crime of desecration and concealment of a corpse, since it could not have been executed by the defendant João Cipriano without the active collaboration of the defendant, with him present at the time and place of the crime.

'In summary, it is clear from the reading of the conviction which the jury decided on the defendants at the points indicated and thus violated the principle of the presumption of innocence which obliges the court to give a conviction only when there is no doubt reasonable. And the condemnation based on mere assumptions or on the possibly perverse and associative nature of the accused is also illegal and unconstitutional ».
