/oʊtɹəfwɑː kənˈvɪkt/ – Phrase
Definition: Người đã bị kết án trước đây.
A more thorough explanation: a plea made by a defendant in a criminal trial that he or she has already been tried and convicted of the exact same crime. It literally means already convicted (in French).
Example: The court reaffirmed the underlying rationale of autrefois convict, which is effectively to prevent duplication of punishment.
