The most frequent use of this word in modern English is in criminal court. When a criminal defendant pleads guilty, usually as part of a bargain with the prosecution to get a lighter sentence, the judge frequently requires him to state in open court that he committed the crime, and provide enough details on the record to demonstrate that he really is guilty. This statement is called an allocution.

Olympian Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius should cop a plea and make a full allocution in his upcoming murder trial. It is clear that he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

45 and sunny here-it was just at 32 when I was in the woods early this morning-a few little crystals on a plant called frost weed, but warming up fast-

Most of us remain sceptical
Despite Obama’s allocution-
Hours more of his blabbing
Won’t produce a real solution

If only the erstwhile emperor
Would just shut up and go away
We would have jobs and money
By the end of the first day

He and Michelle Antoinette
Have made us just like Rome-
They’ll use our stolen money
To call a tropical estate “home”...

Such vital allocution for this:
