"Beat the rap" có từ "rap" = tội -> cụm này có nghĩa ai đó trốn tội, trốn tránh việc chịu hình phạt.
Ví dụ
Parnas and Fruman pleaded (biện hộ) not guilty this week, and Parnas vowed (tuyên bố) to beat the rap.
After holding out in hopes she may be able to beat the rap, actress Lori Loughlin is now reportedly seeking to get a plea deal similar to the one that Felicity Huffman received over her involvement in the college admissions scandal (bê bối tuyển sinh đại học).
When you get locked up, you’re not thinking about regret (hối tiếc) or remorse (ân hận). You try to work out a good plea deal (thương lượng biện hộ) or beat the rap. In early 2002, at 24, I was in jail on Rikers Island in New York after copping to two plea deals — one for selling heroin, and the other for possessing a gun.
