/tə pliːd ˈdʌbəl/ – Phrase
Definition: đưa ra đồng thời nhiều lý lẽ biện hộ.
A more throughout explanation: “Pleading double” refers to a legal defense strategy where a defendant asserts two or more inconsistent defenses in response to the same claim or cause of action. This can be considered improper and may lead to the court requiring the defendant to choose one defense to pursue.
Example: In the criminal trial, the defense attorney advised the defendant to plead double jeopardy as a defense, arguing that the charges brought against the defendant were based on the same set of facts for which they had already been acquitted.
