Go to Jail? Lula's Veredict Divides Brazil

Description

This time, Lula seems to really be going to jail. Brazil's charismatic former president will only be able to exhaust appeals against corruption convictions from behind bars.Supporters of the Workers Party leader call the 6-5 decision by the court political, the destiny of the trade unionist mirroring the boom to bust story of Brazil the past two decades. Does the heavy favorite for the next presidential poll in October deserve it? Was justice blind?
