Arnon de Mello managed to avoid prison after a court ruled that the episode was an accident — because he was aiming at another senator. Amazing.

Years ago, I remember reading an old piece about the aftermath of the senate shooting incident. Basically, the family of the senator that took the bullet was utterly ruined. His sons had a hard time finding jobs, his widow was reduced to doing laundry for neighbors, all for fear that helping;hiring them would bring reprisals. And he was not even the intended target!

Since presence is high, Dilma will probably lose by a landslide. Her best bet was having enough people not vote to prevent the opposition from reaching 342. But with over 500 of the 513 there, I wouldn't be surprised if the opposition gets 370 votes. Of course, certain members of congress have already started talking about a pardon for Cunha, given his "heroic" resistance against Dilma.
