Murder: Life as a Legal Asset Protected by the Court of the Jury

In order to carry out this work, it was necessary to divide it into three chapters. The first chapter mentions life as a protected legal good, demonstrating how life was seen by the philosophers Paul Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt, as well as the inviolability of the right to life provided for in the Federal Constitution, crimes against life and crimes against property. The second chapter deals with the Jury Court, as well as its origins and historical evolution, constitutional provisions, constitutional procedural principles and crimes tried by the Jury Court. Finally, the last chapter demonstrates why the crime of robbery does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Jury Court. It should be noted that the national legislator preferred to include the crime of robbery in the crimes against property, since the offence against life is a means of violating the victim's right to property. In fact, what the legislator meant was that it is a complex crime aggravated by the result, even though the greatest legal asset under protection (life) was taken with the intention of making a profit.
