This article presents a model for the comparison of plea bargain proposals. The use of the model increases the possibility of the satisfactory development of the negotiation of rewarded collaboration agreements recently permitted under Brazilian law. A novelty in the model is the objective consideration of society’s interest in adequately punishing defendants whose guilt can be proven. To allow for the inclusion of this element, a multicriteria approach that adds the criteria representing the prosecution’s aims to the criteria regarding the accused’s positions is adopted. The importance of the criteria is derived without direct criteria weighting. A novel joint treatment to criteria collinearity and interaction is developed, which enables the model to accommodate any number of defendants, proposals, and criteria. The framework so developed enhances transparency and encourages collaboration. By assigning a new meaning to the plea bargain, it is able to bring about the necessary shift in cultural standards that can lead to the effective weakening of criminal organizations.
Este artigo trata do sistema penal, analisando a constitucionalidade da imposição de sanções sem o trânsito em julgado da sentença. Sustenta-se a impossibilidade de o Poder Judiciário flexibilizar garantias constitucionais, assim como de o Poder Legislativo, em prol da eficiência do sistema, criar mecanismos que limitem o direito fundamental de liberdade e as garantias do devido processo legal e da ampla defesa. Discute-se a possibilidade de aperfeiçoamento do processo penal em direção a maior rapidez por meio de estímulo à justiça consensual
