What's the difference between exculpatory and exonerative?
Exculpatory
Definition:
() Clearing, or tending to clear, from alleged fault or guilt; excusing.
Example Sentences:
(1) If the Government were required to provide full notice of its reasons for placing an individual on the No Fly List and to turn over all evidence (both incriminating and exculpatory) supporting the No Fly determination, the No Fly redress process would place highly sensitive national security information directly in the hands of terrorist organizations and other adversaries,” the assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, Michael Steinbach, wrote in a declaration to Brown.
(2) Police and prosecutors examine the background of the victim, which, under the American system, means that anything that could prove "exculpatory" for the defense must be turned over to them (such as, occasionally, one's own sexual history).
(3) The point was to yield confessions, even while ignoring potentially exculpatory evidence.
(4) He maintains that other potentially exculpatory evidence has not been made available to his team and may not have been seen by the Guardian.
(5) An analysis is undertaken of these delusional subtypes in terms of their exculpatory effect within the jurisdictions which follow each of the three respective standards of wrongfulness (i.e., the illegality standard, the subjective moral standard, and the objective moral standard).
(6) Likewise the record may be pivotal in determining whether a defense should even be mounted as an alternative to an early settlement, because the failure of meaningful, supportive, or exculpatory documentation raises serious questions about the quality of care rendered.
(7) Guidelines should prove to be useful as either inculpatory or exculpatory evidence of negligence.
(8) Hacked Off itself bows an exculpatory knee to bemused bloggers.
(9) The case was sent for trial at the beginning of 2007 but halted the following year because the prosecutor had failed to disclose potentially exculpatory material.
(10) The past week has seen a mountain of exculpatory rubbish on bank bonuses.
(11) However, the more informative a genetic marker is (i.e., high degree of polymorphisms), the better it is as an exculpatory tool.
(12) Somewhat in contrast to this trend is the presentation of pathological gambling as a potentially exculpatory condition in criminal trials.
Exonerative
Definition:
(a.) Freeing from a burden or obligation; tending to exonerate.
Example Sentences:
(1) We have determined the genomic structure of the fosB gene and shown that it consists of 4 exons and 3 introns at positions also found in the c-fos gene.
(2) Therefore, we conclude this is a bovine DR beta-like pseudogene, BoDR beta I. Exon-containing regions have been used as probes in Southern blot analyses of bovine genomic DNA digested with EcoRI.
(3) Exons and flanking introns (greater than 14 kb) were sequenced to determine the structural organization of the gene.
(4) The gene is 20 kilobases (kb) long and has 11 exons, the first and second exons being separated by an intron of 10 kb.
(5) All four human MBP variants were identical except for the insertion of deletion of two peptide fragments corresponding to those encoded by exons 2 and 5 of the MBP gene.
(6) The RB transcript is encoded in 27 exons dispersed over about 200 kilobases (kb) of genomic DNA.
(7) Using a DNA insert encoding exons 2-5, the renin gene was mapped to human chromosome bands 1q25----q32 by in situ hybridization.
(8) Twenty-nine deletion breakpoints were mapped in 220 kb of the DXS164 locus relative to potential exons of the Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy gene.
(9) In this type IIB lck transcript, 10 residues encoded by exon 1 from the new AUG codon replace the first 35 residues encoded by exon 1'.
(10) The nucleotide sequence and organization of the human theta 1 gene (exons, introns, promoter, and polyadenylation signals) are similar to those reported for the orangutan theta 1-globin gene.
(11) A comparison between the primary structures of the rat and human genes reveals that the heterogeneity of the C-terminal peptides can be explained in large part by a frameshift mutation and the utilization of an alternative splice donor site in the third exon of the rat gene.
(12) These fragments contain the coding exons for the EBV-determined nuclear antigens EBNA2 and EBNA1, and the membrane antigen LMP, respectively.
(13) This change led to an exon-skipping event resulting in a frame shift and generation of a stop codon.
(14) Amino- and carboxy-terminal information are contained in exons 2 and 7, respectively.
(15) The protein variation potentially includes N-terminal differences coded for by transcript-specific 5' exons and internal differences arising from the optional inclusion of a 39 base-pair exon and from the alternative use of two 3' splice sites separated by six base-pairs.
(16) Moreover, the homozygous mutation appears to cause skipping of exon 6 in the mutant E1 alpha transcript.
(17) DNA sequencing analysis indicated that it was 426 base pairs in size and located in close proximity to a putative c-fms exon.
(18) We infer that a 5' cap is present on both of these RNAs and conclude that the mini-exon-derived RNA donates its 5' cap along with the mini-exon sequence to the pre-mRNA.
(19) Polyadenylated S14 transcripts purified from HeLa cell cytoplasma display heterogeneous 5' ends that map within noncoding RPS14 exon 1.
(20) cDNA was prepared by reverse transcription of peripheral blood mRNA and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers corresponding to sequences 400 bp apart on the cDNA, spanning the last three exons (X, Y, Z) of the beta-Sp gene.
