Definition: Absolver, also known as the defendant, is a term used in legal contexts to denote someone who has been convicted or charged with a crime. The term can refer to either the person being found guilty of the crime or the person who has been arrested for the crime. In most legal systems around the world, the accused (or "defendant") is not physically present at the trial, but rather a witness represents them in court, providing testimony and evidence against the accused. The process usually involves the prosecution, defense counsel, and judges to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. If the defendant is found guilty by the jury, they may be convicted and face penalties such as fines, imprisonment, or both. If the accused is acquitted of any charges, they will not have been sentenced to prison for their crimes.
