For which 14 years still is a crazy long sentence I would think. But Brazil probably has quite draconian laws in general, I’d assume.
Brazil doesn’t have draconian laws, but things get added on top of other things. An example:
For homicide, there’s x time in jail, but if it is done out of pettiness, it can get up an amount of time, if it is a hate crime, there’s more time added.
So participating in a mob that literally shat on the supreme court chairs, destroyed countless historical art pieces in the buildings, had an assassination plot on the supreme court ministers, attempted to overthrow a (flawed) democracy, etc, gets up a lot of time, even if she “just” put the makeup on the statue.
