Cách sử dụng
The expression "turn King's/Queen's evidence" means to provide information or evidence against someone else in order to receive a shorter sentence or avoid punishment oneself. This is usually in the context of criminal trials or investigations. The term comes from the days when the monarch was the head of the law and thus giving evidence to the king or queen was seen as a powerful and significant act. However, it is still used today, particularly in legal or criminal contexts.
