Suspensión de acciones legales en espera de un acuerdo

Explicación Simple

Si alguien es acusado de un delito, a veces el juez puede pausar el caso para ver si se puede resolver sin juicio. Esto permite que la persona trabaje en pagar multas o compensaciones antes de que se tomen decisiones finales.

Es como cuando en un partido de fútbol, el árbitro decide detener el juego para que los jugadores se calmen y puedan resolver una pelea en el campo antes de continuar.
