Black's Law Dictionary
In medical Jurisprudence. The front or anterior part of the neck. Where one was indicted for murder by "cutting the throat" of the decoased, it was held that the word "throat" was not to be confined to that part of the neck which is scientifically so called, but must be taken in its common acceptation.
