This exchange stuck with me as a Penn State alum:

On why some people may feel reluctant to acknowledge her innocence

Acknowledging my innocence costs people something. It costs them the realization that they scapegoated a person who could very well have just been them, that they've consumed as entertainment the worst experience of someone's life. And I think that the cost of that means that people are resistant to the idea of recognizing that I truly am a victim of these circumstances. And I'm still fighting a wrongful conviction to this day.

Well that and....most humans will go to extraordinary lengths not to admit that they were wrong, deceived, fooled, defrauded, suckered, etc.

TheGlov was a rabid anti-Knoxist. You couldn't tell him anything.
