Simple English definitions for legal terms

opportunity

Read a random definition: preventive punishment

A quick definition of opportunity:

Opportunity: This means that someone had the chance to do something because they were in the right place at the right time. For example, if a toy goes missing and someone was in the room when it disappeared, they had the opportunity to take it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Opportunity refers to the fact that the person accused of committing a crime was present at the time and place where the crime occurred.

Example: If a person is accused of stealing from a store, the prosecution must prove that the accused had the opportunity to commit the crime. This means that the accused was present in the store at the time of the theft and had the chance to take the item.

Another example: If a person is accused of committing a hit-and-run accident, the prosecution must prove that the accused had the opportunity to commit the crime. This means that the accused was present at the scene of the accident and had the chance to flee the scene.

These examples illustrate how opportunity is an important factor in determining whether a person committed a crime. Without the opportunity to commit the crime, it is unlikely that the accused could have committed the crime.
