In a lawsuit, the person who is being charged with negligence is called the defendant. This is the person who is being accused of wrongdoing and who will have to defend themselves against the accusation. A plaintiff, on the other hand, is the person who is bringing the lawsuit against the defendant. A suspect is someone who is accused of a crime but has not yet been charged, and a magistrate is a judge.
