continued to believe that Jwas somehow involved in Vivi’s untimely demise.
Seven claimed that she exploited her family’s influence to manipulate the police and silence the public’s outcry.
Despite the abundance of evidence presented by the police, a faction of users stubbornly clung to their belief that Jwas the
