/ˌoʊtrəfwɑː zækˈwiː/ – Pharse
Definition: được tha bổng sớm (bị can tuyên bố rằng mình đã bị xét xử vì phạm một tội nào đó và đã được thừa nhận là vô tội).
A more thorough explanation: “Autrefois acquit” is a legal term that refers to a plea in criminal law where a defendant claims that they have previously been acquitted of the same offense. This plea is based on the principle that a person should not be tried or punished for the same offense more than once.
Example: The defendant successfully raised the defense of autrefois acquit, arguing that he had already been acquitted of the same charges in a previous trial.
