plea of privilege

Read a random definition: political gerrymandering

A quick definition of plea of privilege:

A plea of privilege is when someone accused of a crime says they have a special right or advantage that means they shouldn't be charged. This is one of many types of pleas that someone can make in court, including guilty, not guilty, and no contest. A plea of privilege is like saying, "I shouldn't be charged because of something special about me." It's important to remember that just because someone makes a plea of privilege doesn't mean they will be found innocent.

A more thorough explanation:

A plea of privilege is a type of plea made by a defendant in a criminal case. It is a request to be exempted from prosecution or punishment due to a special status or circumstance. For example, a member of parliament may plead privilege to avoid being arrested while attending a parliamentary session.

Other types of pleas in criminal cases include:

These pleas are important because they determine the course of the trial and the potential outcome for the defendant.

For example, a guilty plea may result in a shorter sentence or a plea bargain, while a not guilty plea may lead to a trial and the possibility of a longer sentence if convicted.
