I'll be honest, while there's plenty of room to criticize everyone else, her stance on that actually always struck me as that of a child who desperately wanted to rebel but had no idea how to do it in a meaningful way. Assuming her argument was the same one she articulated to me in the past, if the majority refused to vote for the actual culprit because they didn't like being told what to do, they'd just end up voting someone else to their death, likely someone who had no involvement in the case at all.
I don't object to choosing to vote for another for your own reasons, of course, but that can hardly be considered taking responsibility for anything. It certainly doesn't make one morally superior to someone who thinks voting for a guilty party is less unjust than voting for an innocent.
