InnocentAbsent guilt; acting in Good Faith with no knowledge of defects, objections, or inculpative circumstances. A person accused of and prosecuted for the commission of a crime is presumed innocent until proved guilty Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. innocentadj. without guilt (not guilty). Usually the plea which an accused criminal defendant gives to the court at the time of his/her first appearance (or after a continued appearance).
