• Under investigation — Subject to a criminal, administrative, or journalistic investigation; a physical or legal person undergoing official investigations or hearings by law enforcement agencies or an investigative committee to establish the degree of guilt or involvement in an unlawful act.
• Heard — Having been officially, methodically, or critically listened to; examined through the sense of hearing. In a legal context, it describes a witness whose statements have been recorded. In mass media, it indicates a broadcast program whose audience metrics have been officially verified or audited.
• Let the other side be heard also — A foundational legal and ethical principle derived from Roman law, translating literally to 'let the other side be heard as well'; the rule of absolute adversary procedure. This maxim establishes the core obligation of any judge, arbitrator, or authority not to hand down a decision before listening to the arguments, defenses, and evidence of both parties.
