Lawyer's Dinner Request Brings Laughter to Supreme Court Interrogation

A lighthearted moment unfolded amidst the serious proceedings of the interrogation of General Augusto Heleno at Brazil's Supreme Court. His lawyer, Matheus Mayer Milanez, requested a later start time for the next day's session, explaining, "I minimally want to have dinner." This unexpected request, delivered with a touch of humor, caused laughter among those present. In response, Judge Alexandre de Moraes playfully suggested a start time of 9:02 AM or, if the interrogation concluded the following day, a Wednesday brunch. "Vamos ver se nós terminamos amanhã, daí o senhor tem quarta-feira para tomar um belo brunch," Moraes remarked. The incident offers a glimpse into the dynamic interplay between legal proceedings and human needs, reminding us that even in high-stakes situations, moments of levity can occur. The video's virality underscores the public's interest in such events and the human element within the judicial process. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a balance between serious legal matters and the human aspects of those involved.
