About Caso em Camadas

Caso em Camadas reconstructs real cases and investigations with attention to chronology, evidence, the justice system, and the ways documentaries, series, and media coverage reshape these stories. Its purpose is to provide context and distinguish documented facts, hypotheses, and narratives without turning violence into spectacle.
