Vindicated, Not Perfect
When Daniel speaks of his "innocency," commentators clarify he isn't claiming sinless perfection. Rather, God found his cause to be righteous. He was being punished for faithful worship, and God's deliverance was a public vindication of that faithfulness. His innocence before the king was that he had been a loyal servant, not a traitor.
