Abstract

Eyewitness testimony is one of the most used in the Brazilian criminal procedure. However, even with the Reform to the Code of Criminal Procedure of 2008, there is still a large gap between the legislative system and the scientific knowledge based on Witness Psychology. In this context, we intend to propose the incorporation of a model of production of the testimonial evidence based on the Cognitive Interview. At the imminence of a new Criminal Procedure Code, which will be the product of the difficulties of establishing minimum consensus in our time, the departure from the valorization of the scientific argument can prevent the punitive flows that tend to increase the intolerable amount of convicted innocents.
