Cách sử dụng
"A stay of execution" is a legal term that refers to when someone's punishment or sentence is delayed or stopped temporarily. This means that the person who was going to be punished (usually through death or imprisonment) gets more time to prepare their defense or appeal their case. This expression is commonly used in legal settings, such as courtrooms or when discussing legal cases. For example, if someone is on death row and a judge issues a "stay of execution," it means that the person will not be executed immediately and will have more time to fight their case.
