Summary: The subject of this paper is chain of custody of evidence. The introductionof this institute in Statute 13.964/19 reflects the recognition that reliability is animportant characteristic of the pieces of evidence that will compose the set of evidenceto be valued by the judge for the determination of the legally relevant facts.The function of the chain of custody of evidence, defined as the chronological documentationof the evidence (which must be understood broadly), is precisely to guaranteethat the piece of evidence which the judge received in the phase of investigationis reliable, was collected, cataloged, manipulated, conditioned, and transportedproperly until it was brought to court; therefore, it can be used as a starting point forevidentiary inferences. In the absence of legislation, I argue that the appropriatephase for examining the chain of custody is the phase of admissibility; and, second,that the consequence of breaking the chain of custody should be the exclusion of thepiece of evidence, avoiding its evaluation. The epistemic quality of the investigativephase is a necessary, albeit not sufficient, condition for a criminal trial seriously committedto the reduction of the risk of convicting innocents.

A introdução do instituto na Lei 13.964/19 reflete o reconhecimento de que a fiabilidade constitui uma importante característica dos elementos que comporão o conjunto probatório a ser valorado pelo juiz para a determinação dos fatos juridicamente relevantes. A função da cadeia de custódia da prova, definida como documentação cronológica do vestígio (que deve ser entendido de modo amplo), é justamente a de garantir que o elemento probatório que o juiz recebe na fase de instrução é confiável, foi colhido, catalogado, manipulado, condicionado e transportado adequadamente até ser ingressado ao juízo; por isso, pode ser usado como ponto de partida às inferências probatórias. Na omissão da lei, defendo que a fase adequada ao exame da cadeia de custódia é a fase de admissão da prova; e, em segundo lugar, que a consequência da quebra da cadeia de custódia deverá ser a exclusão do vestígio, sem que este possa ser valorado. A qualidade epistêmica da fase investigatória é condição necessária, ainda que não suficiente, para um processo penal seriamente comprometido com a redução do risco de condenação de inocentes.Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul2021-01-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://revista.defensoria.rs.def.br/defensoria/article/view/269Magazine of the Public Defender's Office of the State of Rio Grande do Sul; No. 27 (2020): Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul; 17-26 Revista de la Defensoría Pública del Estado de Rio Grande do Sul; Núm. 27 (2020): Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul; 17-26Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul; n. 27 (2020): Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul; 17-262177-8116reponame:Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Online)instname:Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sulinstacron:DPRSporhttps://revista.defensoria.rs.def.br/defensoria/article/view/269/248https://revista.defensoria.rs.def.br/defensoria/article/view/269/249Matida, Janainainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-17T18:13:02Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/269Revistahttps://revista.defensoria.rs.def.br/defensoria/indexPUBhttps://revista.defensoria.rs.def.br/defensoria/oairevistadpe@defensoria.rs.def.br2177-81162177-8116opendoar:2021-08-17T18:13:02Revista da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Online) - Defensoria Pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sulfalse
