exonerate
含义: To officially declare someone free from blame or responsibility for a wrongdoing; to clear of accusations.
Exonerate is stronger than 'acquit' — it implies not merely being found not guilty but being cleared of all suspicion. It is often used when new evidence emerges that proves someone's innocence after they have been convicted. The noun form is 'exoneration.' The term is also used more broadly to mean releasing someone from a duty or obligation. Common collocations include 'fully exonerated,' 'exonerate from blame,' and 'DNA evidence exonerated.'
