/tə ˈkɒmpaʊnd ə ˈfeləni/ – Phrase
Definition: làm ngơ về một trọng tội vì động cơ vụ lợi cá nhân.
A more thorough explanation: “To compound a felony” refers to the act of accepting something of value in exchange for not reporting or prosecuting a felony offense. It is a criminal offense in itself and is typically considered a form of obstruction of justice.
Example: John was charged with compounding a felony after he accepted money to hide evidence of his friend’s crime.
