Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Exculpates

👉 The term "exculpates" in legal context refers to a person who is relieved of criminal responsibility or liability. It's like when someone gets away with something they shouldn't have, but it's still considered a good thing because they're at fault for what happened. For example, if someone was involved in a crime and the police decide not to charge them with it because there wasn't enough evidence, that person is exculpated from any criminal responsibility.
