/tə kwɒʃ ən ɪnˈdaɪtmənt/ – Phrase
Definition: hủy bỏ bản cáo trạng, tuyên bố miễn tố.
A more thorough explanation: “To quash an indictment” means to formally declare an indictment (a formal charge or accusation of a crime) to be invalid or void, typically due to legal defects or errors in the charging process. This action effectively nullifies the indictment and prevents further legal proceedings based on it.
Example: The defense attorney filed a motion to quash the indictment, arguing that the evidence presented to the grand jury was insufficient to support the charges.
