/prɑːˈsɛkjʊˌtɔːriəl əˈbjuːs/ – Phrase
Definition: lạm dụng quyền công tố (trong quá trình xét xử).
A more thorough explanation: Prosecutorial abuse refers to a situation where a prosecutor engages in misconduct or overzealousness in their pursuit of a conviction, potentially violating the rights of the defendant. This can include various actions, such as:
1. Withholding exculpatory evidence: Failing to disclose evidence that could benefit the defendant
2. Making improper arguments: Using inflammatory or prejudicial language in their closing arguments
3. Engaging in misconduct during trial: Violating the rules of evidence or procedure
4. Using coercive tactics to obtain confessions: Employing improper methods to force a defendant to admit guilt
Example: A prosecutor in a murder trial intentionally withholds evidence that could potentially exonerate the defendant. This would be considered prosecutorial abuse as it violates the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
