Definition

恶人先告状

Literally means:

the villain brings suit against his victim before he himself is prosecuted

Actually means:

the villain sues his victim

恶人 means a wrongdoer or villain.

This phra Eren means the wrongdoer brings suit against his victim before he himself is prosecuted. Derogatory.

恶人,坏人。

恶人先告状,自己干了坏事,却抢先诬告别人。具有贬义色彩。

Don't make a complaint to the bad guys first. Clearly you hit him did not hit, he fell, but on the other hand, he pushed you down.

In order to shirk his responsibility, he will certainly make a complaint, so this matter we have to immediately call the police, and protect the scene.
