Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 153-A

  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
It is a defense to a civil action for monetary damages that the damages arose from the misuse of a form of legal identification and the use of that identification has resulted in the conviction of a person other than the defendant under Title 17?A, sections 354 and 905?A. The defense may be raised only by the person whose identification was misused. [PL 1999, c. 190, §1 (NEW).]
