rest

Read a random definition: billhead

A quick definition of rest:

REST: When someone is in a trial, they may choose to stop giving evidence after the police officer or other witnesses have spoken. This is called "resting" and can happen either by the person themselves or their lawyers.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To voluntarily conclude presenting evidence in a trial.

Example 1: After the police officer's testimony, the prosecution rested.

Example 2: The defense rested its case after presenting just two witnesses.

In both examples, the term "rest" refers to the act of voluntarily concluding the presentation of evidence in a trial. In example 1, the prosecution has presented all the evidence they have and do not wish to present any more. In example 2, the defense has presented only two witnesses and does not wish to present any more evidence.

@MrThickRopes: Careful Mr. ThickRopes. I once wrote a love letter to a girl and it was used against me in court. Best not to tell women how you really feel about them. Might get accused of Rape. Oh my God I am so Horny. Haven't fucked in 6 years now. Man oh man!

I thought about this more. You know, if you were still in high school. The time it is easiest to start a relationship, I would say yes. Tell her how you feel. Any woman post undergrad though, nah don't risk it. Wait to see how she turns out as a person at 25 at the very minimum. You probably dodged a bullet.

It depends how they phrased the question. Some questions just ask if you've ever been charged
