Definition: Reprobation refers to the act of raising an objection or exception, such as to the competency of a witness or the sufficiency of evidence.
Examples:
- The defense lawyer raised a reprobation to the witness's testimony, arguing that the witness was not qualified to speak on the matter.
- The judge sustained the reprobation, ruling that the witness's testimony was inadmissible.
In these examples, the defense lawyer raises a reprobation to the witness's testimony, arguing that the witness is not qualified to speak on the matter. The judge then sustains the reprobation, ruling that the witness's testimony is inadmissible. This illustrates how reprobation can be used to challenge the competency of a witness or the sufficiency of evidence.
