She might have said that during the broadcast, yes, but she was also seen watching the carnage unfold without lifting a finger to stop it. That is not a person I would be willing to trust on word alone, especially since Ruby, the person she's blaming, was last seen protecting Pyrrha. I'm not sure how the death of Penny puts Ruby in any doubt, since their friendship wasn't exactly broadcast across the planet.

I understand what you're going for here, and it would be great for tension and suspense, I just don't see it happening the way you've laid it out. There is no reason for them to trust someone who quite clearly enabled civilian deaths on camera over the huntress in training that defended Pyrrha.
