Inculpatory
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
A person makes a statement that is `inculpatory' if it that statement
tends to implicate that person in a crime. To inculpate oneself is
to accept culpability (blame).
For example: ``It's a fair cop guv'nor -- put the cuffs
on -- I'll come quietly''. An inculpatory statement is almost the same
thing as a confession. The opposite -- an Exculpatory statement --
is one that denies or rejects the blame.
