  • 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.

  • 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.

  • So he pled.

  • 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.

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