alleged

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from the suspect' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'possibly legal notes' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'notes' becomes 'ed' ().
'legal' is an anagram of 'alleg'.
'alleg'+'ed'='ALLEGED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alleged that I've seen before include "Doubtful; claimed" , "Asserted but not proven" , "Dubious" , "Accused, though without proof" , "Declared but not proved; maintained" .)
