traditionally it meant guilt yes, only recently has it been accepted as not necessarily meaning guilt. clearest example of these would be everything related to the innocence project since they're literally not guilty of anything.

though for what i said there, you're still guilty of a crime. i was thinking more whistleblowers or civil rights activists, things where yeah, you committed a crime, but it shouldn't have been one that had any punishment to it. didn't say that last bit but i think that clears it up as a separate position than the cases where you're saying you've committed no crime.
Arguably the biggest amount of pardons if ever tallied would be for the draft dodger blanket pardon. Most weren't even charged nor would have been charged ultimately, but this pardon, I think (I should probably look it up), was under the guise that it shouldn't have been a crime to dodge the draft because that war shouldn't have been there to dodge.
