Soul Man

In legal terminology, a "soul man" refers to an individual who has committed a wrongful act—such as a crime—while attempting to conceal or justify it by claiming innocence or moral integrity. The phrase is often used humorously or critically to highlight the contrast between a person's outward moral stance and their actual actions, suggesting a discrepancy between appearance and behavior. It emphasizes the complexity of human morality and the importance of judging actions based on facts rather than perceived virtue.
