The admissibility of the psychographed letter as a means of evidence in the Brazilian Criminal Procedure

Abstract

This article, based on doctrinal and jurisprudential studies, seeks to make an analysis of the admissibility of the psychographed letter as a means of evidence in the Brazilian criminal process, considering the various aspects to ensure the integrity of this type of document. And as specific objectives: to specify the types of evidence in the criminal field; characterize the principles related to Brazilian Criminal Procedural Law; to verify the doctrinal and jurisprudential analyses about the acceptance of psychographed letters as a means of proof. This research was based on pre-existing opinions of scholars, legal articles and jurisprudence, and is therefore classified as bi-bibliographic. By virtue of what has been mentioned, psychography does not constitute a violation of rights in any way, therefore, its admission is perfectly possible, if it were not so, the State would be violating a constitutional precept of the protection of belief. The difficulty of facing the theme from a scientific perspective is great, because few studies have been and are done, which makes it difficult to understand the subject, which would explain the distorted opinions that people most of the time have on the subject.
