/tə əˈlɛdʒ sɛlf-dɪˈfɛns/ – Phrase
Definition: vin vào cớ tự vệ chính đáng.
A more thorough explanation: “To allege self-defense” means to claim or assert that one acted in a manner necessary to protect oneself from harm or danger, typically in response to an accusation or charge of committing a crime or offense. It is a legal defense strategy where the individual argues that their actions were justified because they were defending themselves from imminent harm or threat.
Example: The defendant alleged self-defense as justification for the use of force in the altercation.
