LR's self defense. You said that since she didn't roll over and take it she was scum. Therefore if you're willing to defend yourself you're scum. I think it is much more likely that JB was doing any last hour defense because he was busy chatting with you in the scum den and talking about last minute vote changes.
It was the constant claims of innocence and you will be sorries not a defense that is the issue.
I have not had outside contact with JB that would be against the game rules.
