The Law n. 13,964/2019 brought several changes in the legislation dealing with criminal matters in Brazil. One of them was in art. 492 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. With the new wording, those convicted by the popular trial to a 15 years or more, they must be immediately arrested and begin the early execution of the sentence. Therefore, in the present work, sought to analyze whether the device is compatible with the Constitution. An analysis of the legislative developments and jurisprudence of the Supreme Court on the presumption of innocence. At the end of the article, it was concluded that even if the legal provision is in force, it is incompatible with the principle of the presumption of innocence. Its violation of the Constitution, including, is being evaluated by the Supreme Court currently and has already had general repercussion recognized. We also conclude that this new wording can only be applied to cases that occurred after the law was valid, as it is a material procedural rule. The method adopted was deductive. The technique used was bibliographical research in primary, secondary and tertiary sources.References
