Exoneration is the official clearing of blame — the act, or the result, of saying that someone is not guilty. After an exoneration, the person’s name is clean in the eyes of the court or the report. It is the noun that belongs with the verb exonerate, and it sounds just as formal. Though actually, news writers also use it for the whole story of being cleared, not only one line in a courtroom. It is not a verb: we do not “exoneration” someone.
洗清罪名;無罪開釋(正式宣告沒有責任)
