If she is innocent how would you be distancing?
If she shows evil we will, if innocent then its not distancing. Its knowing we're lynching an innocent and positioning yourself to be able to say you knew she was innocent. Or you are innocent and a better judge of character.
I just wanted to point out your use of the word We, when I was talking to kash, I feel real good about my vote on you. I wish others did felt that way too.
