/tə hoʊld ə tʃɑrd/ – Phrase
Definition: giữ lại lời buộc tội.
A more throughout explanation: “To hold a charge” in a legal context typically refers to the ability of a person or entity to retain custody or control over a criminal charge or allegation, pending further legal proceedings or resolution. It may also refer to the ability of a device or object to maintain an electrical charge.
Example: The defendant was unable to post bail and therefore remained in custody until the trial date, as he was deemed to be a flight risk and likely to not hold a charge.
