Reprieve
type: Class
subclass of: RCRVBAzI4EaLARuVLhgDBTB
definition: A reprieve is a temporary delay or suspension of a punishment or sentence, especially in the context of the death penalty. It serves as a postponement of the execution of a sentence, often to allow the defendant more time to seek a new trial, appeal, or another form of relief. However, a reprieve does not change the underlying conviction or sentence; it only delays its enforcement.
