English term or phrase: hier: get off "One thing about the law of the jungle is that no one gets off on a technicality." Guten Morgen! Wie ist das mit dem Gesetz des Dschungels, ... der Stärkere überlebt? ... oder: Es herrscht ein heilloses Durcheinander? Ich kenne get off nur als "aussteigen". Ist das hier im übertragenen Sinne gemeint? Wird kein Wert auf technische Einzelheiten gelegt?? Weiß jemand Rat? Dankeschön im Voraus und einen schönen Sonntag für Euch alle!

wird freigesprochen Explanation: wird entschuldigt -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2004-09-05 06:41:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- soll heißen: der Dschungel ist gnadenlos, keine zweite Chance ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2004-09-05 06:45:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I don\'t think that is very clear. \"To get off on a technicality\" means that a person has to be declared not guilty because some fine point of the law(a technicality) was not followed in the arrest or trial. So, even though everyone knows he is guilty, the law can\'t punish him. He gets a second chance that he probably doesn\'t deserve. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2004-09-05 07:00:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Man könnte sagen: Das Gesetz des Dschungels hat etwas an sich - es kennt keine Nachsicht.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  Bogdan Burghelea: klingt gut im Kontext 27 mins agree  Susan Geiblinger 36 mins agree  tectranslate ITS GmbH: Grundsätzlich ja, auch wenn Verfahrensfehler nichts mit Nachsicht zu tun haben - es ist nicht so, dass der Richter bei Verfahrensfehlern ein Auge zudrückt für den Angeklagten, sondern dass das Gesetz keine Verurteilung ERLAUBT. Trotzdem, beste Erklärung. 1 hr
