Five years after a four-year-old boy died from injuries consistent with blunt force trauma in a Rio de Janeiro home, the trial of the two adults charged in his death has finally begun — only to be halted almost immediately by the fragility of human circumstance.

Justice, as it so often does, moves forward in fits and starts, carrying the weight of a child's life in its hands.
