RECONTANDO A HISTÓRIA DA PENA DE MORTE NO BRASIL: NA LINHA TÊNUE ENTRE A OFICIALIDADE E A EXTRAJUDICIALIDADE

The death penalty was abolished for the first time in Brazil, officially, with the Criminal Code of 1890. After that, it entered and left the legal systems several times throughout history. However, certain episodes seem to show that legal strategies and maneuvers have made it applied at different times in unofficial ways. Thus, this article aims to identify, in the history of Brazilian law, the moments when the death penalty was used in extra-judicial or extra-legal ways. For that, bibliographic research was carried out. It was concluded that, even with the death penalty prohibited, the State continued to kill independently of the courts. This finding contributes to the understanding of the construction and internalization of a culture of unofficial punishments practices that still endures and is legitimized in the country today.
