AWKWARD SYNONYMS
innocent; blameless; guiltless

Innocent is the most general word for someone who has not done wrong. It can be used, both generally and as a legal term, to deny that someone is responsible for a particular wrongful act: fabricating evidence against men whom they know to be innocent. More generally, it indicates that someone has no malicious intentions or is not corrupt. It is often used to suggest the unfairness of an injury done to someone who has not done any harm: innocent men's lives had been put at risk.
Blameless is a more unusual word. It refers mainly to a general way of life that does not lay someone open to reproach of any kind: they have all three led blameless lives. It is usually an acknowledgement that someone cannot be criticized rather than a term of praise; a
  • blameless person may not be outstandingly virtuous, or indeed outstanding in any way.
    Guiltless is a more unusual synonym of
  • innocent, more formal though without the specific legal sense: Isabelle was guiltless and I was to blame for everything. It may be used to emphasize the fact that someone has been under suspicion but in fact has done no wrong.
