单词 | attainder |
释义 | attaindern. 1. a. The action or process of attainting: originally as in attain v. 3; in later usage, the legal consequences of judgement of death or outlawry, in respect of treason or felony, viz. forfeiture of estate real and personal, corruption of blood, so that the condemned could neither inherit nor transmit by descent, and generally, extinction of all civil rights and capacities. From the false derivation referred to above, the second of these was looked upon as the essence of Attainder, which is defined by the lawyers as ‘The stain or corruption of blood of a criminal capitally condemned, the immediate inseparable consequence by the Common Law, on the pronouncing of the sentence of death’ (Tomlins, etc.). See also attaint v. 6. Bill or Act of Attainder: one introduced or passed in the English Parliament (first in 1459) for attainting any one without a judicial trial.
