Abstract(s)
A temática da anomalia psíquica é, desde a sua génese, complexa. A proteção que é conferida a quem padece de uma perturbação mental tem sofrido avanços e recuos ao longo da História. Na atualidade, não deixou de ser um tema controverso, que ainda divide a doutrina. Ao longo deste estudo, procuraremos respostas para o problema da incapacidade para estar em juízo nas situações em que esta resulta de uma anomalia psíquica que surge após a prática do facto. Refletindo inicialmente sobre como o problema é tratado no Direito da União Europeia, no Direito Internacional e noutros ordenamentos jurídicos, é na atual lei processual penal portuguesa que tentaremos delimitar um regime que salvaguarde as garantias de defesa do arguido incapaz de participar e acompanhar o processo, assim como os direitos que decorrem das referidas garantias.
The issue of mental illness has been complex from the outset. The protection afforded to those suffering from a mental disorder has undergone advances and setbacks throughout history. Nowadays, it has remained a controversial issue, still dividing the doctrine. Throughout this study, we will seek answers to the problem of incompetence to stand trial in situations where it results from a mental anomaly which arises after the fact. Initially reflecting on how the problem is dealt with by European Union Law, International Law and other legal systems, it is in the current portuguese criminal procedure law that we will try to define a regime which safeguards the defence guarantees of the defendant who is unable to participate in and follow the proceedings, as well as the rights that derive from these guarantees.
