While exonerated, acquitted, and vindicated are close synonyms, they have subtle differences: * Exonerated strongly emphasizes being freed from blame and often implies the original accusation was entirely wrong. * Acquitted is a more technical legal term meaning found not guilty in a court of law, which may be due to lack of proof rather than proven innocence. * Vindicated carries a stronger sense of being proven right or justified after having one's actions or beliefs doubted.
