Culprit Alternative Definition
A person who is guilty, or supposed to be guilty, of a crime. When a prisoner is arraigned, and he pleads not guilty, in English practice, the clerk, who arraigns him on behalf of the crown, replies that the prisoner is guilty, and that he is ready to prove the accusation. This is done by writing two monosyllabic abbreviations, eul. prit. 4 Bl. Comm. 339; 1 Chit. Crim. Law, 416. See Christian’s note to Bl. Comm. cited. The technical meaning has disappeared, and the compound is used in the popular sense as above given.
