saklös (OSw) sakløs (ODan) saklaus (OGu) saklauss (ON) adj.

Literally ‘without a case’ (cf. sak). Sometimes translated as ‘innocent’, ‘not guilty’, but often appearing in contexts that are ambiguous as to whether the defendant has been acquitted/declared not guilty, or whether the charges have been dropped. Potential translations of the former are ‘exonerated’, ‘free from responsibility’, ‘blameless’, ‘without fault’, while the latter might be reflected in translations such as ‘discharged’, ‘with impunity‘, ‘without a case’, ‘without cause’, ‘free of charge’. In addition, saklös might be used for cases where the victim/plaintiff does not receive any fines/compensation, reflected in translations such as ‘uncompensated’.
