Guilt_or_innocence

An Accused individual is deemed by a (usually implicit) Judge to be involved (or not) in a Misdeed. I am innocent of this crime and so is James Griffiths . It is possible that the Frauleins Krabbe , Breuer and Moller are guilty of serious wrongdoing. Note that this frame is not limited to technical, legal uses. The use of guilty in this frame is also to be distinguished from that in the Contrition frame by not referring to an emotional state. Innocent has several other meanings that are distinct from the one it has in this frame. It can mean 'ignorant of'; 'innocuous'; 'pure and unsullied by experience'.
