On the 11th, during the trial of the former president Bolsonaro's coup in the capital city of Brasilia, Brazil, Federal Supreme Court Judge Carmen Lucia voted to convict him. With this, three out of the five Supreme Court judges have supported convicting Bolsonaro, while one has opposed. If the four judges who have already voted do not change their decision before the final ruling is announced on the 12th, Bolsonaro will become the first former president in Brazil's history to be convicted of coup crimes.
