Talk about Usher.

Lyrics have been analyzed them far too much.

Yes.

It's an old song, isn't it?

Yeah, but I like, yeah.

Hi, everybody.

And welcome back to top words.

My name is Alicia and today we're gonna talk about 10 crime related words, So let's begin.

Suspect.

The first word is suspect.

Suspect as a noun.

Please be careful.

Not the verb form to suspect, though we can use that suspect and suspect have slightly different pronunciations as a noun suspect means a person who may or may not have committed a crime may or may not have done something bad to suspect someone means to be suspicious, to think they may or may not have done something.

So please be careful depending on the grammar.

Ah, suspect and suspect have different pronunciations.

Despite the same spelling so suspect in a sentence.

The suspect was seen running away from the sea criminal.

The next expression is criminal.

So a criminal is a person who is convicted of a crime.

So to put that more simply, a criminal is a person who has been determined to have done something against the law.

They have done something bad.

It has been decided.

Ah, by a court of law or the governing body.

So a criminal has indeed yes.

Been found guilty on expression.

We'll talk about later.

So a criminal is someone we know has committed a crime in a sentence.

They arrested the criminal on Wednesday.

Victim The next expression is victim Victim.

A victim is a person who suffers because of a crime or because of a natural disaster.

Also, we can use victims for national disasters and for crime.

So they're innocent.

They are.

They've had no reason to be affected.

There just may be the wrong place, the wrong time.

Uh, either way, they're Well, I shouldn't say innocent, but they're the person who suffers in this situation.

A victim is the person who suffers in this situation in a sentence.

The victim was an elderly woman Guilty.

So the next expression is guilty.

He is guilty of blah, blah, blah crime Or he was found guilty of global blood crime.

The nuance of guilty is having done something bad, eh?

So if you are guilty of a crime, it means you have done that crime.

But someone can look guilty.

We can use guilty as an adjective to talk about the way someone looks so guilty in a court or guilty in discussing a criminal case can mean he or she did the crime.

He is guilty.

She is guilty.

However, we can't say he looks guilty or the dog looks guilty.

That means that that person or that object to that animal looks like they did something bad.

But we don't know for sure.

So guilty means has the nuance of doing something bad in a sentence.

You look very guilty.

Not guilty.

Okay, so on the other hand, not guilty, not guilty is the verdict.

So verdict is the word used for decision In criminal cases, not guilty means not doing the crime.

The crime was not done by that person.

So a person who is found or determined not guilty means they did not do the crime or it's been decided that that person did not do the crime.

They are not guilty.

Okay.

In a sentence, he was found not guilty of the crime to plead to plead so to plead is similar to too big.

So to plead means to humbly request something.

It's this.

This is the image of pleading like your hands together, hoping very much for something, asking very humbly for something.

But this is the verb that we use in court cases in criminal cases.

So we'll say Ah, I want to plead not guilty for the crime of blah, blah, blah.

So to plead ah means to request consideration for something.

So I want to plead not guilty means I want to request you the court, the judge, whoever my community, you find me, you consider me not guilty.

I did not do the crime so But we use instead of that very long expression we say I plead not guilty.

This is a much easier way to express that situation.

Of course, you can plead guilty to a crime to in some cases.

So he pled.

This is past tense to plead changes to pled.

He pled guilty to the crime of manslaughter, for example, so in a sentence, the defendant pled not guilty murder homicide So the next expression Ah, have murder and homicide here.

So, murder and homicide, if you watch police shows, are you watching?

You know, movies, dramas which use, uh, the police and FBI and so on.

You might have heard these words, but what's the difference?

So murder and homicide are used to mean the same thing.

It means killing another person with intention.

So to murder someone else means to kill another person.

And with intention, there's a plan to do it.

Homicide is the word that is used in legal terminology or in forensic.

Ah, forensic meaning analysis of bodies.

Analysis of like blood, for example of bacteria.

So kind of scientific analysis of a crime scene.

So in those cases in the investigation side and in the legal side, they might use the word homicide, Perhaps more.

Ah, you might also here homicide in news.

But in everyday conversation, murder is perhaps more common.

So the defendant was convicted of murder.

The defendant was found guilty of murder in a sentence.

She was found guilty of murder.

Manslaughter.

All right, so another expression manslaughter.

This is an interesting word.

So manslaughter.

You can see the words slaughter is there.

So slaughter refers to killing something.

We use slaughter Ah, in many cases to refer to slaughterhouses where cattle are killed like pigs and cows, for example, eso It has the image of cling brutally killing.

However, manslaughter refers to an accidental killing.

So, for example, driving in a car and just threw some strange accident.

Um, maybe a person is hit by the car and they die.

But there was no intention on the part of the driver.

There was no plan there.

It was an accident, A terrible, terrible accident.

In those cases, the word manslaughter is applied.

A meeting, an accidental death.

So in a sentence, this is a case of manslaughter Jury.

The next expression is jury Jury.

You may or may not have a jury system in your country.

In the U.

S.

Jury system, there's a jury of your peers.

So piers are people in your community people in theory, who are similar to you in some way.

So a jury is a group of people who makes a decision about a court case.

You often have to give a presentation to a jury.

So yeah, you might see these Juries that in movies and in TV shows about crime as well.

In a sentence, the jury was divided on the case, meaning the jury did not know how to vote yes or no guilty judge.

The next expression is Judge Judge.

So again your country may or may not have something similar.

But a judge is kind of if you if you've watched like us crime shows or whatever, you might have seen these people there.

Ah, men and women who wear like these big black robes usually and they sit high in courtrooms above the other people.

Usually we also have in the U.

S.

The Supreme Court is our well, supreme meaning most high, the best, the highest level on the Supreme Court where we have what we call justices.

But those those are essentially like they are, Ah, judges.

Really, they're the highest level of judge in the U.

S.

S O.

They have a special word justice, but they are judges.

So they make decisions based on the law based on the legal rules of the country, or are in the city or the location where you are.
