'to give somebody the benefit of the doubt.'

Roughly in German: 'Im Zweifel für den Angeklagten'

How do you get to this point, today...? Did you murder your boss or anyone around you in the heat of the moment?

Actually I was referring to Käfer's topic, wondering how one would say that in German if I wanted to tell her to give her boyfriend the benefit of the doubt..

I don’t know why but this reminds me of „guilty as charged“.

Schuldig im Sinne der Anklage.

Both idioms come from the same area of professions.


OT: I just noticed that it is still easier to type in English...

Are we too complicated, or why are only some ' English Pros' discussing here.

Ladies, let us know what you need!

I wouldn't think of myself as a pro having you and carolina and Brösli here. I still learn with the others when someone needs a short text to be corrected

What I need? Coffee to go
Once in the city of Bonn I red this: Coffee Togo. I thought the coffee came from Togo in Africa and was fair traded, but is was only a mistake instead of to go ... What a difference a little space makes

Johanna, please allow me this correction: read (infinitive: ried), read (simple past: red), read (past participle: red)... three times the same word but different pronounciation...

or did you just forget the "a"... then I wrap it up, just like Helmine yesterday and send it to you you can decide whether with a kiss or without

Thanks a lot - I did not forget the a, it was a real mistake. So I will always remember: forget simply red

That's a cool memory hook right there.
