Từ vựng:

clergyable crime

Giải nghĩa:

/klɜrdʒiəbl kraɪm/ – Phrase


Definition: phạm vào tội được hưởng đặc quyền của giới tăng lữ.

A more thorough explanation: A clergyable crime, in English common law, is a criminal offense for which a convicted person, if ordained as a priest, could claim benefit of clergy. This benefit would reduce the punishment from capital punishment (death) to a lesser penalty.

Example: In medieval England, if a person convicted of a clergyable crime could prove they were ordained, they could claim the benefit of clergy and avoid execution. The punishment might be reduced to branding, flogging, or transportation.
