What does suborne mean???

Sorry. It is spelled suborn (without an "e").

According to dictionary.com it means:

suborn: /səˈbɔrn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[suh-bawrn] (v)

1. to bribe or induce (someone) unlawfully or secretly to perform some misdeed or to commit a crime.

2. Law. a. to induce (a person, esp. a witness) to give false testimony.

b. to obtain (false testimony) from a witness.
