Yeah.

Or the lawyer accused the suspect of tampering with the evidence.

So this is getting more serious being accused of a crime.

People use this a lot in the news on podcasts to protect themselves, because if there's if you accuse someone of doing something that they have not been convicted for, there's that there hasn't been proven.

You could be sued for libel or for, you know, ruining a reputation.

So if we always add that alleged or allegedly, then we're protecting ourselves and sharing like this has not been proven.

allegedly i'm not sure yet i use this a lot if someone says like oh mike said he'll for sure be on time i'll say like allegedly kind of a way of saying like we'll see i'll believe it when i see it that's funny that's really funny okay um guys we're going to go through the rest of these after the break

Yeah, I can imagine people mispronouncing this because it is not spelled as it's pronounced.

It's spelled I-N-D-I-C-T.

But that C is silent.

And it's almost as if there's an E at the end, indict.

And now we're getting into the terms that are more about legal proceedings, right?

The only time someone would be indicted, an indictment is dealing with the court.

Like we would never in casual conversations say we indicted someone or, you know, something like that.

It's all about courtroom proceedings.

Exactly.

So this is all about is there enough evidence to charge to...

if someone is indicted, if now we're realizing, okay, there is enough evidence to move forward.

Otherwise, it would stay at that accuse phase, and it would never get to an indictment.

Exactly.
