A more thorough explanation:

FUR FAMOSUS

FUR FAMOSUS is a Latin term used in Scots law to refer to a person who is reputed to be a thief.

Example 1: John was accused of stealing a valuable necklace from the jewelry store. Although there was no concrete evidence against him, he was considered a FUR FAMOSUS by the local community.

Example 2: The judge refused to believe that the accused was a FUR FAMOSUS just because he had a criminal record. The prosecution had to provide solid evidence to prove the theft.

The term FUR FAMOSUS is used to describe a person who is believed to be a thief, even if there is no concrete evidence against them. In the first example, John was considered a FUR FAMOSUS because he was suspected of stealing the necklace, but there was no proof. In the second example, the judge did not accept the accused as a FUR FAMOSUS just because he had a criminal record. The prosecution had to provide solid evidence to prove the theft.
