disagree  MariusV: žodis "responsibility" reiškia "atsakomybė", TAČIAU "baudžiamoji atsakomybė", "finansinė atsakomybė" yra "liability". "Responsibility" gali būti civilinėje, administracinėje byloje, bet NE baudžiamojoje.

disagree  Paulius Markevicius: labai jau lietuviškai skamba, pažodinis vertimas... nors dėl liability tai Marius teisus - atsakomybė verčiama kaip liability, tačiau siūlomas žodžių junginys nėra angliškas

disagree  Paulius Markevicius: anglų kalboje tokios sąvokos nėra, tai puikus "Lithenglish" (a la "Spanglish) pavyzdys... :) Patariu atidžiau susipažinti su BPK ir proceso eiga. o ne klaidinti teisinio išsilavinimo neturinčius vertėjus
13 mins
  -> Tai yra sąvoka iš anksčiau versto UK teismo baudžiamosios bylos teksto. Visų pirma asmuo turi būti PATRAUKTAS baudžiamojon atsakomybėn, o tik tada gali būti persekiojamas (jei siekia jos išvengti). Elementarūs BPK dalykai ir terminai. Negrybaukim, OK?

criminally prosecuted person


Explanation:
In any criminal law case, the prosecuting party is the Crown (the currently reigning monarch) while the criminally prosecuted person is called the "accused"

savokos "person brought under criminal liability" nėra visame internete, todėl netikiu, kad Marius rado tokį "Lithenglish" perlą neva anglų teismo sprendime. Greičiau tai vertimas iš lietuvių į anglų, ir dar prastas

disagree  MariusV: "procecuted" reiškia "persekiojamas baudžiamaja tvarka"
51 mins
  -> teisiškai tai yra vienas ir tas pats, nes persekioti baudžiamąja tvarka yra patraukti baudžiamojon atsakomybėn. Siūlyčiau susipažinti su baudžiamojo proceso pagrindais ir BPK. Asmens persekiojimas prasideda jo patraukimu atsakomybėn. Mariau mokykis teisę

"Indicted" – ne tas pats. Mes verčiame: baudžiamojon atsakomybėn traukiamas asmuo. Todėl nežinome, ar jis jau buvo 'indicted' (charged) ar dar ne. Man atrodo, kad geriausias variantas – "being held criminally liable", kadangi tai tik pasako, ką žmonės galvoja, ne kas jau atsitiko ar dar gali atsikti (indictment).

Example sentence(s):
  • The media named the person being held criminally liable for the incident.

neutral  Valters Feists: Are you sure "traukti atsakomybėn" means just someone's opinion about the situation (belief of the eventual guilt), and not a specific legal step? "Traukiamas" = the person *is* accused/charged, not just able to be accused.

  -> My understanding is that a specific legal step (to charge, to indict) would be „apkaltinti; iškelti kaltinimus“. That takes some sort of hearing (posėdis). Whereas, to me, „traukti atsakomybėn“ does not imply any concrete steps so far, just intent.
