No Harm, No Foul. Not every error at trial merits reversal. Defendants are entitled to a fair trial, not an error-free trial. (Lutwak v. U.S. , 344 U.S. 604 (1953).) Appellate courts generally donât reverse convictions unless a legal error was likely to have contributed to a guilty verdict.
A frenemy â someone who pretends to be a friend but is actually a rival. Frenemies are often supportive and complimentary, sometimes to excess. But deep down they harbor a ulterior motive â to compete with or humiliate their âfriend.â.
What Does Acquaintance Mean. My definition: An acquaintance could be a work colleague, a teacher, a friend, or the lady who works at the supermarket who you make small-talk with. It's used loosely to mean someone that you've met... Anyone you know who also knows you back. The word is usually less strong and more formal than friend. My sentence: I talk with my acquaintances but laugh with my friends.
