    But she wasn’t innocent.

    She was innocent of the crime you have used to justify their escalation throughout this entire discussion. Had they treated her with the presumption of such, given their extremely shaky evidence to the contrary, different decisions could have (and should have) been made, as I’ve expressed a number of times already.

    Thank you, and have a good day.
