The case of abuse of authority by Judge Rodrigo de Azevedo Costa, of the Family Court of Nossa Senhora do Ó, in São Paulo, was not an isolated case.
This Tuesday (22), the blog Mother talk, by journalists Mariana Kotscho and Roberta Manreza, published a report with new videos that showed more of the magistrate’s behavior – curiously, always in cases where the offended people are “Surrender”: new videos of a judge who belittled Lei Maria da Penha displaying racism and misogyny.
In one of these videos, the complainant in the case (identified in the report only as “B”) is treated with contempt by the judge, who calls her “manhê” and threatens her with discriminatory and even racist yelling and comments.
“You chose a bad father, you chose a boy with no money. Bad luck is yours, “said Azevedo Costa in one of the videos. In another, he questions the fact that “B” asked for custody of his children, although he has difficulties to maintain his income with the salary he receives: “did he earn 1,300 and wanted to have 2 children? If there is no way to take care of it, then you can adopt it, put it in a shelter ”.
Then he questions his opinion about the children’s father, with a racist comment: “If he is a bad father, it is not my fault. What I am going to do? Am I gonna take this nigga and slap him? This is not my job, ”said the magistrate.
In another case, both the witness, identified only as “F”, and his lawyer are the target of the judge’s lack of control, who claims to feel offended by the defender, whom he mentions as “anyone.”
Azevedo Costa was offended when she heard “F’s” lawyer suggest that his position would be favorable to her ex-husband. This was his reaction: “They disrespect me! I didn’t hear you ask for forgiveness. What I am talking about here is a technical foul, I am not defending a grown man, no, I am not a lawyer. You’re offending me, I’m not clapping for a crazy dance. It is very well sponsored, I think maybe (here you are praising the man’s lawyer and criticizing the woman’s lawyer). You asked for the damn request! (here he slaps the table) “
In a statement to the Mother talk, the lawyer said that “I felt naked in that hearing. Naked and raped, morally speaking ”.
At another point in the hearing, “F” tried to argue that he had financial difficulties to support his children because he did not receive a “judge’s salary”, to which the magistrate replied that “if you wanted, madam, to earn money, I was going to be a judge with that meager salary that I receive ”- according to the TJ-SP website, the judge’s gross salary is 32 thousand reais.
Last week, the blog Mother talk published the first article on Rodrigo de Azevedo Costa, showing his contempt for the Maria da Penha Law. “Let’s go slowly with the arrogance that the saint is made of clay. If there is a law of Maria da Penha against her mother, I don’t care. One thing I learned in the life of a judge: no one attacks anyone for free, ”said the judge in one of the video excerpts.
