EXONERATED Meaning and
Definition
-
Exonerated is a verb that refers to the act of clearing someone from blame, guilt, or responsibility for a particular action, crime, or wrongdoing. When a person is exonerated, it signifies that they are declared innocent, absolved, or freed from any accusation or legal charges that were previously held against them.
The process of exoneration usually involves shining new evidence, facts, or information that was not available or considered during the initial investigation or trial. This evidence may prove the individual's innocence beyond a reasonable doubt or showcase a significant flaw in the previous proceedings, leading to a revision of the verdict. Consequently, the person is no longer considered guilty and is released from any legal penalties or repercussions associated with the alleged offense.
Exoneration can restore one's reputation and rights, as it implies a complete validation of their innocence. It also often implies that the individual was wrongly accused or convicted, and they have now been vindicated. While an exoneration can occur at any stage of the criminal justice process, it is commonly associated with post-conviction proceedings, in which new evidence emerges, technological advancements assist in revisiting old cases, or witnesses recant or reveal new testimony. The act of exonerating someone recognizes the importance of justice, fairness, and preserving the integrity of the legal system.

Etymology of EXONERATED
The word "exonerated" has its origins in the Latin language. It comes from the Latin verb "exonerare", which is a combination of the prefix "ex-" meaning "out" or "from", and the verb "onerare" meaning "to load" or "to burden". The literal meaning of "exonerare" is "to unload" or "to discharge a burden". Over time, the word evolved from its original sense of relieving a physical burden to the more abstract meaning of relieving someone from blame or responsibility, which is how it is commonly used today.
