Those who can't see why our protagonist can't connect the dots between the ML and the murders just don't get the blind faith some people can have when they've only been shown one side of someone.
It's like, if your best friend was accused of murder, but they've never shown themselves to have any hostility towards a single person on this earth. They work for the community, volunteer at shelters, never speak poorly of anyone and treats anyone they meet with respect- it'll be hard for you to believe that they killed someone, unless you see it yourself. You'd make every goddamn excuse in the book until you're met with irrefutable evidence, and even then you'd probably try to defend them because you've never seen that dark side of your friend.
We of course know better, we're readers on the outside of this crazy situation, but cut her some slack. The ML is so fucking cute . I adore him and all his Insanity.
