The judgment for Brazilian rapper Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno, known as Oruam, has been postponed by the Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro (TJ-RJ) to March 30, following the non-appearance of a key victim in the case, delegate Moysés Santana Gomes. Oruam faces serious charges including two counts of qualified attempted homicide against civil police during a police operation that occurred in July 2025 in Joá, a neighborhood in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Additionally, he is implicated in various other crimes such as resistance and disrespect towards authorities, threats, and qualified damage.

Currently, Oruam is considered a fugitive since his habeas corpus was revoked, leading to the reinstatement of his preventive detention. The upcoming hearing was crucial as it would have initiated the procedural phase in the Tribunal do Júri, where pivotal evidence and testimonies are presented. The delays present a complication for the judicial process as the absence of witnesses can impede the progression of cases, particularly those involving serious allegations like attempted homicide.

This postponement highlights the ongoing challenges within the Brazilian criminal justice system, especially in high-profile cases involving artists and public figures. It raises questions about the reliability of the judicial process in handling such incidents, as delays can impact the rights of both the accused and the victims seeking justice. The ramifications of this case extend beyond Oruam, as it may influence public perception of safety and crime within the region, particularly in areas often plagued by violence and law enforcement confrontations.
