Evo Lucas’ lawyer blames Paulo Neves for the accident

He added that “the speed was imperceptible, there were no signals, and the flashing lights were not working. Minimal turns to avoid collisions. He was drunk after four hours of alcohol.”
“It was a gross negligence on the part of Paulo Neves,” considers Magalhães e Silva
Magalhães e Silva believes that both Paulo Neves and Cristina Branco should have placed the triangle in what could be a “double reference to the incident”. “Actually, no one put the triangle. That was gross negligence on the part of Neves,” he added.
The representative of Sarah’s parents insists on the criminal liability of Paulo Neves
Magalhães e Silva, representative of Sara Carrera’s parents, insists on the criminal responsibility of Paulo Neves, stating that “the murder must be in gross form and not by negligence.” He says that Neves’ behavior was the cause of the accident.
Magalhaes e Silva said: “Paolo Neves should have signaled his presence. He was 80 meters away from the fado singer. This gave general illumination to a double referential danger. It was him and the behavior he was taking.” He added, “From how fast he goes and then not to put the triangle, that’s the bet.”
The deputy understands that the accusation must continue
The public prosecutor claims that Thiago Pacheco and Paulo Neves can be charged with “dangerous driving”. The deputy understands that the indictment and the accused must be preserved as soon as they arrive.
“Evo Lucas has no chance of being excluded from this incident as the main culprit,” considered the deputy
The Prosecutor claims that the correlation and causation that exists between Paolo Neves’ speed and Cristina’s collision, the main reason being the speed followed by Neves.
“The question is to find out the causal relationship between Neves’ speed and the Evo Lucas collision, which is the final result.” There is a break in the causal link. But Christina masters the fact that leads to the first collision, excessive speed, ”said the prosecutor on behalf of the deputy.
“Evo Lucas has no chance of being excluded from this accident as the main culprit. The fado singer has a share of the responsibility. Evo was going at 130 km/h, at a speed beyond the limits. A wall in the middle of the road,” he added.
Attorney maintains negligent and against warrant homicide charge against Cristina Branco
The public prosecutor stated that “the engagement may have been motivated” and that she ” [fadista] He was running cruise control.”
He added, “I do not see the possibility of attributing another crime to her. I believe that the possibility of putting a triangle does not exist. The deputy maintains the killing due to negligence and administrative violations as well.”
“You have to do defensive driving,” says the prosecutor regarding Cristina Branco.
The Prosecutor stated that problems of interpretation begin with an analysis of the speeds traveled by Paulo Neves and Cristina Branco.
“I didn’t see any car in front of Cristina in the accident photos, only Paolo Neves. The issue of speed was raised, since he couldn’t stop the car before the collision. If the speed wasn’t excessive he could avoid it. Collision. No, I was expecting a car 28 km away, but it can For that to happen. You have to drive defensively, the other car could crash. The other car was visible from 400 meters away, and you could see it. But the floor was wet,” the prosecutor added.
The attorney general for the deputy continues the allegations
“Paolo Neves has absolutely incredible behavior. Traveling on the highway at 28 kilometers per hour. He can cause a brutal chain accident. He never reaches the minimum speed for a turn on the highway. Christina sums up that he drove 108 kilometers in It does not seem to me that it escaped reality, the differential speed of 80 kilometers per hour between the two cars was as if they had hit a wall, ”said the public prosecutor.
The Attorney General states that “the problem of causation between behaviors and outcomes is the most important issue.”
The Public Prosecution said, “The deputy has positions that may be subject to criticism. These are the positions that I will take, derived from my thoughts and my impartial conscience.”
“The problem of causation between behaviors and outcomes is the most important issue,” he added.
The deputy says that the behavior under discussion provides for the crime and against the law
