nevinnost
Nevinnost is a Czech word that translates to innocence in English. It refers to a state of being free from guilt, wrongdoing, or sin. This can apply to a person's actions, thoughts, or general character. In a legal context, nevinnost signifies the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. It is a fundamental principle in many justice systems, asserting that an individual is considered innocent until concrete evidence establishes their culpability.
Beyond the legal sphere, nevinnost can also describe a state of purity, naivety, or lack of experience.
