That's just it though; Ruby herself hasn't done anything overtly suspicious. Haven students saw her defending Pyrrha, even. Yet Cinder, who was seen watching the broadcast and (Potentially) saying out loud that it was "Horrendous" in the most "I-am-so-pleased-this-happened voice" you can imagine. It doesn't matter how "Suspicious" people might find Ruby if her accuser was literally seen ''watching people die. ''

If you had to choose ​​​​​​​​​between the 15 years-old Huntress in Training last seen protecting her friend Pyrrha- with testimony from students who were actually present- and the much older, more experienced fighter who watched the carnage unfold on camera and quite obviously enjoyed it (Again, provided they had actual audio), who do you think would be the killer?

What you're going for is neat, and I respect that you have more expertise in this field than I, but I doubt that anyone would be stupid enough to believe Cinder after everything she was seen and heard doing.​​
