And -- there were witnesses to the tapes. Tapes that were, odds are, properly logged in as evidence at some point. That were pretty much ignored. What does he need to do, write a book on how he would have seduced Lily if he'd actually wanted to? And why didn't they try calling in witnesses from the party who could say that Veronica did not approach him at any point and thus was not attempting to seduce him?

Eh, he still got killed. I cheered at that.

Yep yep yep. I fear they view the 'Bad boy with a heart of gold' as being someone that only the fanfic writers and not official writers can pair Veronica with.
