Not strictly true, in France they have crime of non intervention, so if you see an accident and make no effort to help, you can be charged. So you could in fact be a guilty bystander

By definition--a bystander is one standing by--not involved in the conduct. Ergo, not guilty of involvement. Thus, Innocent Bystander.

Innocent bystanders just want to witness the events while happening but not participating in the commission of the crimes.

You mean like the neighbors who saw the murder of Kitty Genovese and did not call the cops? They are guilty morally, but I do not believe we have any laws to cover this sort of situation.
