Defendant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accused

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">defendant</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for accused that I've seen before include "Defendant in a criminal proceeding" , "One tried" , "Person being charged" , "Blamed" , "Charged with an offence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
