probator
Read a random definition: subreptio
A quick definition of probator:
A probator is someone who admits to doing a bad thing but says that someone else helped them do it. They have to prove that the other person is guilty too. A term is a word or phrase that means something specific. It can also be a part of a contract that is very important or a fixed period of time. In the past, there were four terms in a year when courts were in session, but now we have sittings and vacations. A term fee is a sum of money that a lawyer can charge for each term in which legal proceedings take place.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A person who confesses to a crime but claims that someone else was also involved. The probator must prove the other person's guilt.
Example: John was arrested for stealing a car. He confessed to the crime but said that his friend Tom helped him. John became a probator and had to prove that Tom was also involved in the theft.
This term is used in historical contexts, particularly in legal proceedings. It refers to a person who admits to committing a crime but implicates someone else. The probator must provide evidence to support their claim. This term is not commonly used in modern legal systems.
