"Dead to rights" = (bị bắt quả tang) khi đang làm việc gì sai trái -> nghĩa là bắt tận tay day tận trán.
Ví dụ
Well, it’s happened. Your command has charged you with crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But regardless of whether this is a fake vendetta (báo thù) against you by the brass or they’ve actually got you dead to rights, you remain innocent until proven guilty (có tội) in a court of law.
Their belief that they’ve finally got him dead to rights doesn’t absolve (giải, gỡ) them of the responsibility of going through all of the motions (đề nghị) to prove their good faith (niềm tin), even if that might be unpopular or mess up their political timetable (thời gian biểu).
Republicans have Hunter Biden dead to rights on one matter: His involvement (can dự) with the board of Burisma—and the $50,000-a-month paycheck he was taking home—creates the appearance of a conflict (mâu thuẫn) of interest.
